Four to ten clamps ( you will need steel clamps with wood handles and cast heads with an aptitude of 30" and a throat depth of 3"). 4. A cotton cloth (1 cotton cloth moist with water to remove the excess of adhesive dripping from the joint while under pressure). 5. Masking tape and tip marker.6. A very sharp wooden chisel.
