Duncan, Never found a capper that I liked even with the one's I altered so I started doing it this way.Start cap on with your index finger and thumb then shove it all the way on with a piece of wood doll rod 6" long by 3/8" around and a piece of leather glued on the end.(I like to glue one on both ends.)
If you can picture a wad the same size as the doll rod and glued on the end you will see what I'm talking about.
This leather serves two purposes, one it helps keep the doll rod from slipping off the cap and two it acts as a cushion for the cap.You can shove the cap on real snug this way and not hurt the cap or your finger. Never had a cap go off doing it this way and I have used this method for years.
Hope this helps, Mike
