Here is a little idea I came up with the other night while removing the vinyl from my Leading edge skin. I was using my 2 foot ruler to do the job and it kept slipping so I used a cleco clamp to hold the end of the ruler at the edge of the skin, but still needed something for the other end.
I looked at the problem and decided to use a piece of scrap from the wing trim bundle. First I drilled a #40 hole near one end then I deburred it. now all I need to do is cleco it to the end hole in a line of holes I wish to devinyl and clamp the other end. It's now held in place and I can melt vinyl with ease.
The first picture shows the tool I made (really this is easy), and the second picture shows the tool in use. I devinlyed my wing skins on the stand. I was able to sit in my chair while doing this which was alot nicer to my back.
You can also go to my web site and look at the wing page for 11-29-2006.
Hope this helps.
