Clamp for long strips

[Foxer]

In the course of my current Van build, I had a number of long, thin (.02" x .14") styrene strips that needed to be finish sanded along the cut edges. They were cut using the back edge of a knife. Holding these firmly and straight was taxing my imagination. The clip shown was holding our opened bag of potato chips from spilling and proved up to the task. This one is made by Oxo and has straight, ribbed rubber grips which can be seen in the photos. The clamp is 3.5" long and they do make other lengths .. shorter and longer. I couldn't have asked for a better tool to clean the edges with a sanding stick and also hold while I tapered one side along the full length. Here's a link to some Oxo clips at Amazon for reference.

This is so simple I almost got too embarrassed to post.. ehhe

Heaven is a place where you always have enough clamps.
