Either I am misusing the term "creep", or I don't understand what you
are doing with the blue tape to stop it. I thought that creep in a
glue joint referred to movement in response to sheer forces.


You are not. Creep is what happens to the wood sandwich as clamping
pressures are applied. Blue tape will hold it most of the time for flat
stock glue ups, it has a hard time when the form includes a bend and twist.
Unless your bending form incorporates a twist as well as a bend, you should
not have a problem with creep. If you do, and blue tape will not hold, (try
it without glue first) apply clamps and cauls to prevent severe creep. Use
clear packing tape on the cauls to prevent the adhesive from sticking to it.
