I thought I should be OK but it never hurts to ask the experts.

That twist is tough work, but I have some small c clamps that are good for a better grip. I am using my larger f clamps etc and Rubber bands (3.25x1/4 stretched between screws in the forms and around the strips. You would be surprised the pressure 4 or 5+ of these can generate,) to hold the strips on the forms.

I have more pics but it's film and only half shot so it may be a bit before I get them posted.

Thanks
Andrew
