Am I being thick?

[Andrew1]

Hi the question says it all. I am making a star shaped shelf, called let it snow snowflake shelf, which I need to glue a 30 degree angled piece to a flat surface. I can't pin it due to restricted access. Any ideas on how I can clamp the two pieces together to a good adhesion.

I wonder if the blue-tape=get-out-of-jail-free-card might work?

Cut an extra 30 degree angled piece from some scrap and put it over the first one, the opposite way round. You will then have a parallel surface for clamping. If it slips, put a bit of folded sandpaper in between.

If that makes no sense, it's because I don't really understand what your snowflake shape is and you'll need to attach a diagram or photo.

What size is it?

Hi one piece is 400 x 72 x 12, the piece with the 30 degree cut on the end is 194 x 72 x 12,
