How should I cover an exposed movement while taking a break from servicing?

[DoctoralHermit]

Please forgive me for the super-simple question, but I'm curious about what the best way is to cover an open movement I'm currently servicing (perhaps if I take an overnight break).

The simplest option is placing a glass tumbler upside down on it.

Or a larger cover if it's a movement and spread out parts.

Anything that will cover and seal reasonably well to prevent dust selling on it.

Wow, I feel like an idiot haha. I shouldve thought of that... thank you!

No problem, a tumbler is good as they're heavy enough that they're unlikely to get knocked or blown by a gust of wind.

A whiskey glass has suitable weight to it..

Especially when you fill it with whiskey.

But in seriousness it is a generally accepted practice to use a shirt glass shut as a whiskey tumbler to cover the movement if you haven't bought a domed cover to keep the dust off.

I recently got a nice set of dust covers [emoji1]
