Clamping thin strips

: How do you guys typically clamp the thin strips?

My current project was done all stapeless. I hardly used any clamps at all. I hot-glued the strips to the forms and between stations I used plain old paper masking tape. I used a combination of 1" and 2" wide tape spaced 3-9" depending on how much force I needed. Occasionally I would use a spring clamp to hold strips even to each other. Worked great.
