Default RE: New kit builder! Which clamps?

To quote everyone else, get whatever you can find coz they're all useful. Some of my most commonly used ones the small plastic "clothes peg" types that I picked up from a dollar shop. I also use some cheap sliding clamps about 10" long, and some heavier G clamps I found in the hobby section of my local hardware store. It's also a great idea to get some lead shot (or even sand), fill a couple of zip-lock plastic bags with it, and put the bags in old socks to use as "soft weights" for holding down sheeting while it dries. Masking tape is very useful too - get a couple of rolls, and if you can get packing straps they're great for holding slabs in place (eg: round the curved edge of a firewall) till the epoxy dries.
