Can a person use 2" spring clamps for a BBO glue up?  Just curious.  Thanks.

Two inch opening? Or the length of one side is two inches?

I use 2 inch clamps in between my larger spring clamps to get as many as possible on a glue up. I also use F clamps in critical areas that need more pressure. I just glued up a longbow this evening and I used 54 clamps in total.
You can never have too many clamps in the shop!

They work great, just get a lot of them.
