Clamping odd angles

[Paul F Mills]

Dedicated cauls with geometry that directs the clamping pressure to bisect the joint angle is often my go to and if the glue up is a bear I glue the cauls with newsprint in the joint so the hold well enough but pop off and clean up easily.

There is no such thing as a ruined inner tube around me, I cut then into a continuous strip along the radius and these long rubber bands can be used to clamp any shape that you can create. And the price is right!

I have a too many road bike tubes lying around, I will try it. And it will be cheaper than the rubber tubing mentioned earlier.

Once you have a bunch of your tubes cut up you'll find uses for them that you never imagined!

Chair makers use large rubber bands that are made for the assembly/gluing process. The rubber bands I use are about 36" in length. They can be wrapped around the standard chair several time. If you wish greater pressure, add more rubber bands
