for the first time I am making rings that the segments for me are quite small. 40 segments per ring at 4.5 degree cuts and About .375 thick, 0.40 width and 0.70 S.E.L. I used regular metal band clamps and the ring looked ok as I set it aside but when I came back after the glue dried some were oval instead of circular. I'm guessing that I cranked the band clamp too tight. Any comments on one what to do to prevent this in the future and second any idea if I can salvage the slightly oval rings, maybe break them in a few places and re glue? Thanks, Mark
