But... years ago (15), we tried some pvc for certain clamping operations, and it was a pain. We tried it with the regular caps, and other fittings. We tried it with different materials like felt and player cloth and ruberized surfaces, it it was a pain. Bamboo would be better. Wood go -bars are a lot more versatile, and can be used at all kinds of angles, on almost any surface. And... they last a long---long time. Just my old 2 cents. Maybe the stuff is better (more durable) now. Dunno, Guy
