You can never have enough clamps! Thanks for the post!

I will look to see if they are available here in Ontario, Canada.

Some thing else that works well are the 1" capacity, 2" wide fold-back binder clips available from stationary stores. They are a bit limited in capacity but at 5 bucks a dozen they are handy to have around. I usually pad the jaws with a layer or two of duct tape.
