Another option which I use on new builds and strip downs is the Flexcoat polyurethane foam arbors. You will need to buy or fabricate the various size bits to bore the size hole corresponding to the blank. Minimal epoxy to fill void. i've done #24 seats on standard 9/16" blanks for arthretic hands w/o problems. Just another option. As far as the original way I too agree with Mike that putting an oversize seat does require expertise to assure a positive adhesion. PS, don't forget to abrade slightly to dull the blank b/4 glueing!
