Hi Andy, maybe try the thread method. You can get photo-etch sheets with the non-slip surface on them, and there more accurate than the one on the tank. Aber do really good sets of them.
Cheers,

Alternately if you are happy with the moulded tools in general it is possible to undercut them carefully with a plastikard scorer or knife blade to give them an apparent gap.
