Another point it's OK to tighten it up but will it release without the BFH
If the angles are not correct it could lock on

Found the reference -- "rubberdraulic" from Guy Lautard's The Machinist's Bedside Reader (TMBR #1)
John Hill:
Thanks very much, now I must go and think about rubberdraulics! :coffee:
John Hill:
A block to test the idea of rubberdraulics.
The cap screw goes in the top hole and the piston goes in the side. The passage between them is filled with bathroom caulk which I will leave for a few days to set.
vtsteam:
Cool!
Can't wait to see if it works. :coffee:
ps. Tips: a little cornstarch added will make silicone rubber set up quickly and in heavy sections without air. It can also be thinned with mineral spirits or kerosene (paraffin), though this increases shrinkage after drying. Wetting fingers with water with a little dish soap added will prevent it sticking to you when handling
