Fed Ex dropped off my lining clamps today. They look really great. Thanks, John.

One thing that I noticed, though, is that they seem to be a bit weak on clamping power. Noticeably weaker than the mini spring clamps from Home Depot that I have not been happy with. So just for a trial, I removed the rubber band from one and put it on another to double up the band. Waaaay better

Any chance, John, that I can buy another 50 of the rubbere bands? Thanks.

Hey Grant,

I am not sure, but I think you can just cut some of your own easy enough from some surgical rubber tubing.

Cheers and Merry Xmas

Kim, Probably true enough, but in the woods of northern Minnesota, surgical tubing is not a "hardware store" item. By the time I search this out and figure out the correct diameter, wall thickness, etc., and then find some place that will ship me a couple of feet of it......

Well, just a whole lot simpler to buy it from the source who obviously has it on hand and understands what I need.

Grant

Grant, no problem.

I'm going to start a separate thread about this so that everyone will see it.
