scotch tape
« on: October 14, 2017, 01:42:12 pm »
So, I use cellotape for clamping small and awkward parts while gluing.  The secret is to twist the tape into a rope at which point it becomes almost impossible to snap and is also a little elastic so you can put in a lot of pressure. I haven't used it on larger glue-ups, yet, anyone else got any experience with this technique?

Maybe use double sided tape for a little stickiness on little things like overlays and such?

I use rubber bands for small awkward parts like tip overlays, leather handle risers and added shelves.

On tip overlays i use ca glue and just press with my fingers for 10 secs

Finger clamping is not so easy with 5 minute epoxy, or a 24 hour set slow glue  ;)

Tip overlays, I use those little spring clamps with the rubber ends and ca glue, same for arrow rests. Anything bigger than that, I've got those dewalt clamps.
