Spring clamps for glue up?
« on: November 05, 2012, 05:13:05 pm »
I found 20 spring clamps in my garage. Would these be alright for glue ups with epoxy and tb3 or will it starve the joint?

I don't use any sort of clamp for glue ups anymore. Bicycle tire inner tubes only. 27" X 1" work the best for me. I just cut out the valve. This provides the most even pressure throughout and are dirt cheap.

as long as they are good clamps they will work, i use them to glue on handles and tips but used to use them for everything, use tubes now, Bub
failure is an option, everyone fails, it's how you handle it that matters.
