Is there such a think as a stock line of clips for various thicknesses
of material?


Your thoughts appreciated, although "Tim! You're crazy!" won't get you
far -- I'm already aware of that.


I do not know of a source, but I think you should give us an idea of
what you are trying to do.


What? Why?

I want to clip two fiberglass panels together, compressing a gasket
that's in between. Then I want to put a rubber edge seal around the
whole shebang.

In theory just the rubber edge seal would do, but I don't want to try to
explain that thinking to an unhappy customer.

If you took the arms off , would a clip for papers work?


Almost, yes. The typical rolled edges of that sort of paper clip would
be a bit of an issue, but not much.

There is an entire world of clips, clamps and fasteners around
us...most often in automobiles and rolling stock.

Those clips you are looking for are very common
