Clamps

[hammett98]

HI all,

 

Frustrating problem yesterday building my kit. I clamped two sections together using some pegs that I had (using some paper towel between the kit and the peg so as not to damage the paint), and when I removed them - a massive dent. Well, massive to me anyway. It only happened in the one place and Id used these pegs 6 or 7 times already without problem.

 

Its really annoyed me as I was very happy with how the kit was working out until that point. So my questions is, what clamps do you use when gluing sections together. I know it sounds silly, but I want to use the actual ones someone else uses on here so I never have this happen again!

 

Many Thanks,

Simon

I've got these clamps that are great for 1/72. The black ones have had some thin rubber gasket material superglued to them, to avoid slippage. The other clamps are from the kitchenware section of a local hardware store. They have a soft, rubbery, non-slip pad on each clamping surface.
