Hi Edison Restorer,
This is really pretty easy to do-I made up a rig from a old mandrel that I soldered a lenght of copper to for a handle. You can use either casting plaster or white clay that will harden-both are easy to find in an art supply store. Mix the plaster on the firm side and put into the cylinder with a ice tea spoon-or form clay in same area. Apply a thin coat of vasiline to the mandrel slide in firmly to the cylinder and let dry. Use reamer if necessary to clean up. I have done this to over 100 cylinders and it works really well.
