Stretch-fibers

 

           

Il set completo

Pic 1

This tool consists of two wooden clamps (Pic 1).  Each clamp consists of two wooden planks (Pic 2), which on two of their surfaces are covered with elastic window sealing strip for a better grip on the UND cloth (Fig 1).

The first clamp is slightly different from the second one; the first clamp has a lock which grips the UND cloth strongly (Pic 3 and 4), the second clamp has an adjustable lock so one can adjust the pressure on the cloth (Pic 3 and 5).  Now I'll try to explain how the tool works:

Having placed the cloth in the clamps, the first clamp locks and holds the cloth strongly in place (Fig 1), then I adjust the second clamp (Fig 2) so that when I and a helper pull the clamps in opposite directions, the
adjustable clamp (with its rubber sealing strip) holds only the slack

fibers while letting the stretched fibers slip.Once all the fibers
are equally stretched, I lock the second clamp too.  Then I and a
helper bring the clamps and the clamped cloth onto the foam and pull
the clamps in opposite directions very strongly.  As a result, all the
fibers are perfectly straight and equally stretched, without any
waves.
