Title: i'm not sure if this fits
Post by: firestarter on April 25, 2010, 01:22:10 am

I know this probably happened to some other people in here but I was glueing the back onto my skull post and ran out of clamps.  if your a parent and your kid(s) like tools and/or have the black and decker ones.  you can use the c-clamps to hold your work while it dries.  it surprised and worked for me so i figured i'd pass it on.

I was having problems clamping some of the larger intarsia pieces so I ended up filling small baggies with lead shot from a sporting goods store.  I had purchased the shot for weights in a clock.  They nicely fill the spaces and keep everything tight while the glue sets.
