draw together smoothly, and not pinch. The clamp bolt
must be perpendicular to the radius of the clamped item,
and should be as close to the surface of the clamped
item as possible (Figure 3).
Surface inspection of clamping parts
Visually inspect the edges and surfaces of the interfacing
parts for burrs or deformation that might mar the
carbon part.
With your finger, again check the part. Any roughness
or sharp edges could
mar the carbon part.
