That is one of the exact reasons that I went with the parallel K-body
style clamps.Â* The plastic covers do not come off.Â* Be careful with the
Jet style, their plastic heads are a bit hard.

Thanks, but replacing all of my clamps is not an option.

My projects *cost* me money, not *make* me money.


Yeah... there is that.Â* Any pad that will deform when "squshed" will
likely break the bond loose too.

Roughing up the mating surfaces (cork, rubber or?? and metal/plastic),
perhaps even drilling a TINY hole in the clamp face and then using
silicone sealant to join them? Even if the "squishing" breaks the main
bond, unless you pull at them the silicone that's migrated into the
holes drilled should keep them attached.

At one point I used some magnetic rubber strip material on the back of
smallish plywood squares to hold a protective (plywood) face in place.
Didn't work all that well but perhaps it would have if I'd drilled a
space for the clamp face to sit.
