I used to work at this factory that made rubber seals. I worked on them for awhile. Been thinking about making a visit to them and see if they would make the seals for vehicles. We made parts for air planes,trains,hovercraft. . When I worked on the molds. We used these big still clamps to hold the molds together. One day the big wheel came to me and asked me to not put so much pressure on the clamps. The people taking them apart are complaing they are tight . For they had to use a breaker pipe to take them off. For me to not use a breaker bar on them ,.To tighten them. I told him I wasn,t. Then he asked me to show him.So I did--tighten the clamps buy hand and then he went over and tried to loosen one .haha He said damn man. I saw it myself. Just barely tighten them and let me check them again. I did and he said try and ease up on them. Your stronger in your arms then what you think. I told him he needed to put real men on the other end--they are wimps. I,ve always had hard jobs and had to use my arms in the mines,woods and loading and unloading steel. Where they had easy jobs. They never did have a mold to leak while I was on that job. All of the seals came out good., One mold would have about 50 clamps on it.My parts truck has the sliders in the cap, one pane is broken and the weatherstrips are bad. Its pretty cool though, first one Ive seen
