ELMER’S CORNER:
Here’s one
from Popular Woodworking;
Self-adhesive
Clamp Pads
To prevent
marring a work pieces, many of us like to use pads on the F-style clamp jaws.
Commercial slip-on pads are available, but can be expensive. Also, it is hard
to find ones small enough to fit smaller clamps.
A visit to
a hobby/craft store turned up the perfect solution: self-adhesive foam. Sold under
the brand name such as “Foamies,” the thin material is made for kids to cut up
into fun shapes to apply to notebooks and the like. Applying it to clamp jaws
is child’s play too. Simply cut it at an approximate shape to suit your jaws,
peel off the backing, and then press it into place. It only cost about a buck
for a 9” X 12” sheet, which will cover lots of clamps. And the material lasts a
long time in use.
Respectfully
submitted,
Muriel
