Important: Dust Covers for 16mm Potentiometers!

I believe this is mandatory for Dust covers on Pots under the PCB.
It is a on going Issue that should be standard practice in Builds.
This stops the PCB from shorting out on the metal back of the Pot :
They come standard with Tayda Alpha 16mm Pots.
UPDATE: Alpha stopped supplying Tayda Pots with Dust Covers on some 16mm Potentiometers.
You need to Order the Dust Cover separately!
5 Cents each!

I have been using the foam adhesive pads because that is what the Stewmac kits had. I just ordered 100 of the dust covers from Stompbox parts .11 cents each.

Some of the early Ibanez pedals used this thin plastic substrate over their solder
