*sigh* A recent posted question brought this thread to mind. I just can't leave it alone...
"Too many clecos is never enough."
And with Jeff Foxworthy in mind:
"Are you really building an airplane?"
"Nope, I'm just plugging up all these leaks. Here's your (sign) cleco."

Cleco weight loss
The thing I love about clecoes, is when you're riveting and removing the clecoes as you go, the structure gets lighter and lighter. I've always been amazed at how light the final, riveted structure is, compared to how it was, when filled with clecoes. It just makes final riveting that much sweeter.

Cleco Clamp Rules:
If you need a small pinch, use a Cleco clamp.
If you need a big pinch, just try and remove it from the pliers too soon!

Yes! Especially when you hoist that cleco-less sliding canopy in place for the first time.
