Tablecloth Clips - How To Prevent Rust?
I enjoy camping, but am a little bit of a neat freak so for me it’s a necessity to have a vinyl tablecloth to put on our picnic table when we go camping. I use inexpensive, supposedly rust resistant, steel tablecloth clamps like these that are available from Camping World
but mine rust after only a few uses which creates unsightly stains on my tablecloth that I have a hard time getting rid of.
I’ve tried coating the clips in clear fingernail polish but it wears off really fast.
I also tried some plastic ones that I found at my local dollar store but some of them broke the first time I used them.
I end up replacing my tablecloth every year because I hate how it looks with the rust stains on it.
Today, I came across these Camco Tablecloth clamps
. They’re not supposed to rust at all - instead of being rust resistant they’re rustproof, but the downside is they cost about $10 for 4 of them versus the rust resistant ones that I get in a 6-pack for less than $2. I’d need two packages of the Camco ones.
I’m wondering if anyone has used these and if they’re worth the money?
