: Wire ties are a one shot item. If you put one on and you ain't happy the only
: way to reverse the process in quick order is to cut it off. If you are
: slick enough to tie all your panels together and everything comes out on
: the button the first try wire ties are your baby. If you are inclined to
: have doubts or your tape measure says your are off here, here, and here
: them 18 ga. copper is the better method. I'll stick with 18 ga. copper
: wire. You can tighten it or back it off numerous times before it breaks.
: And if it does, so what?

Not for panels, for holding a Yost style SOF's frame together while the epoxy sets. There isn't any adjustment available, unlike panels on a S&G.
