Creation Station Question
I have a creation station and I love it.
Recently the "l' -shaped rod that is used for one of your arm supports has gotten very loose . It is not the nut on the base that is loose. It is the clamp like holder on the base that has no tension anymore.
If I lean on it too much my whole arm will fly forward and into the flame.
I cannot see anyway to make it tighter in the clamp. I am considering taking it out and trying to wrap it with something to increase the friction but I have not a clue as to what might be effective.
Am I missing something? If you understand my dilemma do you have any suggestions?
At this point the design has a built in hazard.
Thanks
Anne

Have you tightened the nut on the clamp? The nut compresses the clamp to add tension.

Anne,
I am not at home so I can't look at mine but you might want to contact Bill who designed them. Ann Ricketts knows how to get hold of him.

I just tightened the nut and yippee!!!!The arm tightened right up. I feel pretty stupid because I did not really consider how tightening the nut would have an impact on the clamp. 
Thank you so much for responding 
I love those "arm supports"!!
