You're going to need a lot of clamps LOL... Home Depot and Lowes sells them but HF has the best deal. Buck each I think. I probably have enough to do one panel at a time, but forgot to load up at harbor freight last week. I'll try the Depot Saturday for some cheap spring clamps. I just bought spring clamps at HD for $9.99 the other day. There were more than 10 and all sizes in the package. I did the quick math and said this beats HF to my surprise.

I like the orange Jorgensen clamps, they've never failed me:

After breaking several harbor freight squeezy clamps (I've been working out, thanks for noticing), I got their version of your metal orange clamps and they are holding up well.

I recently tried Mobiltec's Shellac-before-installation method and was very happy. Shellac down the arm really stinks. On my latest project I tried something different for applying shellac...a trim paint pad. It's much faster than a brush with a smoother application. I just posted the French Polish method of applying shellac up on You Tube. Here's the link... youtu.be/3hgN_dPO4fc
