A couple weeks ago I ordered Spruce's lowest priced pliers. Tested them- could see some marks in the sheet corresponding to the edges of the jaws.
So I took the dremel and radiused the corners and then polished them with rouge. That mostly helped but still leaving a mark but now the mark is not as angry
looking. I believe NOW- the mark may be where the sheet is sliding a little while under the pressure from the jaws as the material stretches. I tried putting some
blue masking tape in both sides of the skin. That mostly fixed it completely. The blue tape seems a little thick---
has anyone tried something like the riveting tape tape some people use on flush rivets ? Or maybe some of that tan slightly stretchy 1 inch striping tape ?
Just curious ---- as we dont want ANY scratches or any kind or marks that could start a stress crack later or break the clad and give corrosion a place to bite in.
