We use clear stretch wrap in our shop for lots of quick wrapping and clamping operations. For example, when gluing up a bent lamination, we coat the laminations with glue and then wrap the bundle with stretch wrap in several places to keep the laminations in line. We then seal the entire bundle with a spiral wrap from end to end. With the bundle wrapped, we don't have to worry about glue ooze sticking the project to the cauls. I have also used a few layers of stretch wrap to clamp a delicate piece. It is good for odd-angled pieces or mitered corners, too. Uline and other suppliers sell stretch wrap in a handy 5-in. roll that comes with its own handle. You can find many uses for the stuff when you realize that it both clamps and seals.
