Never tired this...friend used this with great results.
IF you often work with Kadee coupler springs [any other fine springs, small parts!], lose them a lot, this might help. Tip glass aquarium [wide/deep enough to work inside comfortably] on side, on low cabinet or workbench [friend actually built low extension to his workbench, at exact height to work comfortably for him]. Place work light in tank, overhead or from sides. White paper under what is now the bottom of work box, helps in locating small objects easier on the glass. Cut arm holes in soft material. Tape this to tank opening [top, sides, bottom] w/enough slack to work comfortably. View what you're doing through top glass of tank. Friend commented how those $#@& springs would still get away but now, he could re-locate 'em! No more vacuuming floor, dumping contents, sifting through dirt w/light, magnet, in hopes of finding lost critters! My 2 cents.....Old Tom in New Hampshire
