<p>I bought mine for violin finger boards .</p>
<p>I never tried them for things like that .</p>
<p></p>
<p>I glued a harp once and that would have been great!</p>

<p>I’ve had good results with a full length caul made of Friendly Plastic backed with rectangular steel tubing or thick plywood. Putting some shallow 1/16” holes through the fretboard slots into the neck at a few points on the board helps relocate the board in its original position. Another fantastic product that has helped me a lot for cauls is Magic Sculpt, not cheap but a great thing to have. </p>

<p>Hi Dave, </p>
<p>What "clamping caul problems" are you experiencing. We use radiused full length cauls to ensure the board goes on straight and flat and indexed from one end to the other. Band clamping distrorts the fretboard radius during the glue up and promotes uneven pressure at the clamp position. These plastic units are stopgap at best.</p>
<p>Regards, </p>

<p>Thanks Joshua. I can get them for £1.07 here in the UK ($1.37) so even if I don't use them for this job, I guess having a few to hand for jobs like yours would be great to have. D</p>

<p>Hi Dave, I used those clamps but for a different project. I got them from Stew Mac and thought they were pricey until I used them. Then I thought they were a bargain. Stew Mac recommends a clamp every 3 inches</p>
