I had some problems with skewing, so I called up the Gibco/BRL tech.
rep. (since I have a BRL apparatus) and his advice was:

1.  Clamp the bottom of the plates if you use a plastic bottom spacer.  

2.  Don't clamp the bottom of the plates if you don't use a bottom
spacer or else you'll get bad skewing.
