Okay, I'll bite. Why are you getting new clamps? If your segments are cut
like they are sussposed to be a sting and rubberband will work nicely.

Go over to Napa auto parts and get the band clamps. Those metal ones
that you screw to tighten/loosen. They come in about every size from a
couple inches up to over a foot diameter. They work great for me...

Hi Keith

I have made long clamps like the ones they used to use on car coolant
hoses etc., if you make them out of a few pieces they distribute the
clamping force better.
I use the metal strapping used on pallets etc. cut lengths, drill holes
for stove bolts, bend the ends at 90 degrees, stick in the bolds, wrap
around and tighten, and the price is right.

Have fun and take care
