In Response To: Attaching Sheer Clamps (Dennis)

with side panels firmily affixed to the table and a stop or weight to prevent the bent sheer clamp from sweeping the epoxy goop back onto the side panel at the ends,,,,use a spring clamp to hold the bottom sheer piece at one end,one at the other end,one in the middle. Now add the top sheer piece , clamping one at one end,one at the other, the middle. Run around checking for the right offset and setting clamps everywhere...Did you use 2" clear tape to seperate the panels? I used a length of saranwrap once but the tape is easier. Did you remember to thicken the poxy? what else... ? .... catalog shopping for gear while the stuff cures? cheers
