end to keep the wire taut.\u00a0 I had never given much thought to the fact that the common wooden clothespin sticks to the corner of the film and usually splinters a little wood onto the film when you remove it.\u00a0 Just a fact of life and I have always lived with it.\u00a0 I try to clip the very edge of the film and it has never been much of a problem. . . it is more of an annoyance. <\/p>\n<p>There are times that things just happen unexpectedly.\u00a0 I was walking through a store several years ago and saw something I had not seen before. . . bamboo clothespins!\u00a0 Didn\u2019t think much of it, but I did examine them closely and noticed the bamboo looked like a good material for a clothespin since it was not as porous as the wood I was used to seeing.\u00a0 I ended up purchasing a package and replaced one of my film lines with them. <a href=\"http:\/\/jbhphoto.com\/blog\/2014\/01\/30\/are-you-using-clothespins\/bamboo001\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-11098\"><img
