It's funny in retrospect that people here recommend using pieces of
melamine with clamps while gluing up a project, specifically for its
"glue-repelling" qualities. Oh well.

What should I use this time?

I wish melamine did actually repel glue, my TS extension table is
melamine and I have chunks of the melamine missing where the glue stuck
during a glue up.

I wonder if paste wax would help. Worth a try, wot?
