Title: Spring clamps for glue up?
Post by: vyadha 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
