Default Building tank, Anyone have clamps?

Just wondering if anyone has any Bar/Spreader clamps, Bessey K Clamps, corner clamps or squares ETC...that I could borrow??

I took a tank apart to change the color of the silicone, everything is cleaned, new tubes of siliconeI and taped off.... I know where to buy them from! Just not something I wanna have laying around my shed never getting used when I'm done

Rent? Trade for corals? Beer?

Pm if you do, thanks!

Duct tape is probably better then clamps. Clamps are often installed to tight and end up squeezing all the silicone out.

Thanks for the advice but I wanted to be precise about how this goes together.

I didn't receive any offers so I bought some new pistol grip bar clamps today. If anyone wants to borrow them after this week just send a PM
