What are you using for vibration control?

Just wondering what folks are using to control pickup cover vibrations that cause microphonic feedback.

I wax pot the pickup before and after put the metal cover. The wax between the coils and cover avoid it to vibrate.
In some pickups I did spill some lacquer but I prefer wax, it's easier to pull off the cover if something goes wrong.

I think he might be refering to unpotting

I use a clamp that clamps the cover on and another to clamp the sides in. Then I put a piece of paper tape over the slugs for a bit of added dampening. Works really well. I'm attaching a StewMac Trade Secrets to show what they did, their clamps are shit though for this purpose, they don't clamp evenly and are a bit flimsy.....
