dew- I use pretty much the same method as "the haze", except I use cling wrap(clear plastic), and a small piece of fabric sheet(size of opened matches), I roll the bud(s) a few times, put the sheet in next- roll, roll, roll or wrap, wrap, wrap- then I compress it between two big books and a couple hundred pounds of weights- the end results allows flexablity for placement-(note--the biggest bud I've tried was the size/length of two figures) I usually only keep it there during the security check- if really needed I put after-shave lotion on right before
