About 10 years ago I bought some 3 ft. Bowclamp cauls from Zig Industries. I didn't need them right away, and then life got in the way of my woodworking. I pulled them out to use a few weeks ago, but found that I could only squeeze the middle 1/3 rd. of the of the cauls together using quality F style clamps. I may be able to close the gaps with heavy Jorgy I-beam clamps, but they are designed to be used with F style clamps. Am I missing something here? Thanks
