Customised clamp
Paul used Plastimake to customise an F-clamp for a tricky job.
He needed to temporarily compress an engine mount so he could work on it. However, each side of the engine mount ends in a threaded bolt, making it very difficult to get a solid grip on it with a clamp.
Paul solved the problem by forming Plastimake around the threaded ends of the engine mount and joining them to the pads on the clamp. The Plastimake blobs keep the engine mount firmly in place so it can be compressed by the clamp without slipping.
When the job was complete Paul simply unscrewed the engine mount out from the Plastimake caps.
