I too rather admire the clampet, but from afar as those times I might need it have all been met just fine by a constrictor with siezing wire and a pull from two spikes. For this job, I'd recommend the pleasanter to the touch frapped lashing which, if you do it with tarred (or not) natural fibre will take a varnish and junk slurry right nicely and last just a little shorter than a rock.
G'luck
