Popular Post gee-dub Posted February 23 Popular Post Report Share Posted February 23 I crave your pardon if you actually use this method in a sports situation since I may be murdering it . I have had a few folks comment on the tape-wrap for my clamp handles so here you go (many YT videos of professionals doing this better than I do). Tag the tape to the handle and spin the roll to create a "rope". Wind the rope around the handle in a spiral from the tag to the opposite end. Cover the rope spiral in flat tape (this is one continuous run of tape). Complete the covering operation and wind back a wrap or two before cutting off from the roll. Ta-Da! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post krtwood Posted February 23 Popular Post Report Share Posted February 23 Slight hijack but here's my alternative Epoxy a bolt into the handle and use a driver or ratchet to tighten to your heart's content. Allows you to go nuts on the clamp even if you've got them tight up against each other. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drzaius Posted February 24 Report Share Posted February 24 Thanks for posting. I'm getting to the point where my hands are getting a bit arthritic and this will make things easier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SimonR Posted February 27 Report Share Posted February 27 you probably want to stick (pun intended) to white hockey tape the coloured one (especially the black tends to shed for a lack of a better word gooey and slightly abrasive residue a lot more. That stuff eats through the leather palm of hockey gloves so I'd hate to have any transferred to a freshly glued panel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That stuff eats through the leather palm of hockey gloves so I'd hate to have any transferred to a freshly glued panel The white I was able to pick up locally seems to structurally fail faster. I have not noticed (yet) the black transfer or other problems. I do however know well enough to take a Canucks recommendation regarding anything hockey over my tenuous SoCal understanding of the topic . P.s. I use the term Canuck with all due respect. I understand it can sometimes be used in a derogatory manner. Not my meaning . . . at all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
