• Opinion needed: Alligator clips on bamboo skeweres - teeth or no teeth?
  • I put unshrunk shrink tubing over the teeth, that way you can use the clips with or without the tubing. *NM*
    • Great idea! Although I don't seem to get noticeable "teeth marks". *NM*
  • Maybe you could try to sand/grind off the teeth from the clips? Just a thought. *NM*
  • Tiny wooden "clothes pin with springs" style can be glued to wooden skewers. Available in the crafts section of crafty stores at a couple of bucks for 50 or so. The gripping end of them or even the regular sized ones can be whittled to just about any shape you want. *PIC* *PIC*
    • Doh, just one pic - I moved it to the Optional Image URL box and forgot to delete the required note in the Text box. ;^) *NM*
  • I just slip a vinyl stirring straw over the teeth and trim to length...PIC
  • Bob, you shouldn't put anything that would melt or catch on fire on the teeth of the clip becau ,,, ,, Oh, never mind, different usage. ;-)) *NM*
  • MicroMark sells paint clips by Infini Models with silicon protective sleeves in packs of 20. *NM*
    • It's siliconE, and you don't want that anywhere near paint! *NM*
      • It is inert, but yes, that is a watchout. *NM*
