I discovered the beauty of innertube 'clamps' on my first build; they're used in conjunctin with my other clamps (c or spring), and have a multitude of uses. Closure of strip gapping betwwen forms, as well as alignment. Convincing endstrips I, do in fact, want them to follow this unusual curve. I also use used tourniquets - from medical clinics. Very stretchy, allows excellent adjustment of tensions at any given point. I also use these 'clamps' more than the usual ones.
