newman mesh clips
« on: January 11, 2016, 02:01:12 PM »
we need to stretch some bolt-mesh this week, and I can't find the fabric positioning clips for our newman frames around...

I seem to remember someone saying that it as basically just a repurposed fuse holder clip?  Anybody know the size or a mcmaster-carr number so i can order some up?

Yeah that was me that was getting slammed for using pallet strapping plastic instead of newman mesh strips. Here's the fuse holders I ordered and use when I stretch mesh. They work great.

When they come in, make sure to file down any burs and sand all edges that contact the mesh. If you have a rock tumbler, toss em in for a day.

Did the pallet strappings  work well in the end? I`m in urgent need of some lockin strips but would have to order them abroad. Pallet strapping s I can get hold of locally.

I found those clips somewhere online recently and they were a lot more than $6. Wish I would have seen this post before I dropped a ton of money on the Authentic ones

after a few minutes of buffing and polishing, the clips worked perfectly.
