Haha, wasn't expecting such a tip!

The problem is that if this plane is semi-stiff, it's hard to put your hand under it without making an opening between it and the glass. And that is not a risk I'm willing to take.

So the trick is that I slide something thin (the cover itself), but then can, as a second stage, put the rest of the book there, by closing it. But true, no reason those two layers must be a part of the same thing.

Today someone posted Show HN for a catalog of problems looking for better solutions. Maybe I should submit there?

TBF, for most of the spiders that we find in our homes, the risk is only psychological, not physical. That said, I prefer not to make physical contact. My nephew though, he plays with them like they are puppies.


Well, this is not even 1 mm thick. It's just 2 glossy papers that are held by the adhesive so the gap while I slip it under the glass is pretty minimal.
