Extra Clamp Pressure

Extra Clamp Pressure
You’re probably aware that you can use clothespins as clamps; if you occasionally require a little extra clamping pressure, modify the pins as shown—add a blind nut secured with a little CA and a cap screw. Torquing down on the screw forces the jaws together more firmly. Adapted from 400 Great R/C Modeling Tips by Jim Newman, Volume II, an Air Age Media publication.
