Wish I could remember who but, 10 years ago or so, one of the respected luthiers here admitted to using layered Post-It notes to determine the final amount of nut shim needed. That trick has helped me more than once!

Our mistakes weren't quite so easy to undo
But by all those roads, my friend, we've travelled down
I'm a better man for just the knowin' of you."
