CLAMPS!

So the last post brings us to the rub rails, which is what I am currently working on. I thought I had a ridiculous amount of clamps, enough to glue both sides on at once, but as it turns out it takes a ridiculous number of clamps. You can watch the rub rail action below.

If I had it to do over again, I would have bought more C clamps and less of the green spring clamps. I was attracted to the little spring clamps because they were only pp cents at Home Depot, but I think I could have used a smaller number of C claps instead of all the spring clamps. You have total control of the pressure you apply with a C clamp. You can do a lot more than a C clamp than you can with a spring clamp in my opinion, so they would have more uses in the future other than gluing rub rails on a boat. That being said, the little green spring clamps are great for 99 cents, and they are useful. I would have gone with a different spring clamp to C clamp ration.
