    Default Glue adjacent issue - number of clamps

    Hi all
    16772356204174393903636805260053.jpg
    I think I overdid the clamp count on this glue-up.

    It's one of those habits during a panel glue-up to use every clamp you own and ask the neighbour for theirs too.

    I thought it would cheer up your Friday night in workshop.

    As long as they don't deform the panel you can use as many as you like.

    Have you thought about using smaller clamps so that you can use more of them ?

    I especially like the use of every style of clamp.

    I tried to get the spring clamps in there. Next time.

    This like the way I tie stuff down on the ute.
    The weight of the rope rather than the knots used is my method.
    But on a serious note I’ve collected old weights from weightlifting kit to use on glue ups.
