IC component comes stuck into.

Smooth all the cut edges of the copper tubing with sandpaper or emery
cloth.

Compress and push the foam strip into one end of the copper tube until
only 1/4" sticks out. (Trim it to a point if you want.)

Works fine on my Eee Pad Transformer.

Luck;

PS; If you use a little longer strip and fold it in half then compress the foam and
push the open ends into the copper tube you can get a denser less spongy end, but
if you overdo it it doesn't work as well.
Hello Mr. Maltby,
I'm paralyzed & type with a stick I hold between my teeth. Would your homemade stylus make it possible foe me to use touchscreens & touchpads?
Thank you.
