Model Building "Soft Jaws" for regular ole "Forceps"?

[Hemi]

Everyone,
As some here know, I'm an avid model builder, and have quite the shop... That said one of my latest builds, I needed a VERY SMALL set of pliers, that had "Soft Jaws" with NO serrated jaws... That said, the smallest "Pliers" I could find, was in fact one of my sets of "Forceps". HOWEVER, they had serrated Jaws that would marr the finish of the item I needed to hold, firmly.. that said, here is what I did to make "Soft Jaws" for on my "Forceps"....




See? Regular ole Forceps......



NOW the same Forceps with "Soft Jaws"!!!!!!



And NOW the trick..... Heat Shrink Tubing on the Jaws......

The thing is, if you EVER want or need to remove, or replace the soft jaws, cut off the heat shrink tubing and use as normal Forceps, OR add more in-place of the old stuff you removed!!!!
