Spanners are suggested in both of Siminoffs' books when glueing up rims. I've never been comfortable with this method because I could never get the proper pressure in the right places to make a good rim fit.. After the first several tries, I came up with what I think is a better method.. I drilled holes in the most stressed areas of my forms and used clamps to help shape the rim parts to the forms. I will mist the rim parts and let set, clamped in the forms, for a while before glueing.. They are so tight that I sometimes have to hammer the new rims out of the forms.. Hope this helps others out... Keith
