clamping action cloth

[MICHAEL MORVAN]

Ed,
    Apply the hide glue on the outer ends of the wooden sticker (not the 
middle) put the action cloth on and use tape as a clamp. Tape will stretch a 
little bit and apply good pressure until the glue cures, then you just peel 
off the tape and throw away. Masking tape or electrical tape work best, tape 
front to back not side to side.
