Attaching gels to strobes?

How do you guys attach your gels to your strobes? I've never tried but I worry about them melting and being secure so I thought I'd ask how everyone does it.

A couple clothespins on the lip of the reflector.

They're made to handle heat, but it does make sense to try to get a small gap between gel and reflector to allow airflow.

Didn't think about clothespins. I'll have to give it a shot.

Yea, clothespins. I actually use heavy duty paper clip things. Haven't had a melt down yet

Of course there are modifiers available that will hold gels, etc.

Velcro?

Heat melts the adhesive which afixs one half of the hook & loop pair to the reflector

I'm assuming your talking about studio strobes with hot modeling lights and not small hot-shoe type. I would use film industry standard C47

I am using AB litemod frame for my AB lights.

While I was working at a production studio many years ago we had an intern working on a studio shoot who used plastic cloth pins to hold gels/delusion material on a "hot" studio light... after the light had been on for several minutes we stated to smell smoke - the plastic pins were melting and about ignite. The lesson he learned... ONLY USE WOODEN spring type cloth pins on any photo or video light even if they have barn doors.
