This is mostly for Don Stephan since he is the only one I know of who uses these really neat Collins miter clamps. So Don, if my memory serves, you use one of these clamps every 6" or so to clamp miter joints in your display stands. I'm making some backgammon board boxes of solid wood with miter joints which, knowing fellow woodworkers, will be subjected to close scrutiny. The box itself is about 3" tall and I plan to use 2 or 3 clamps per joint plus the ever present blue tape. I don't want the little marks to be visible and am wondering how you deal with them. I haven't quite gotten to the "hiding" the divots part yet. Hopefully a drop of water and a hot iron will take care of it, however, to be forwarned is to be ready with alternate solutions (or whatever that saying is). How do you do it??
