Rather than clamping or nailing shelf edging 'til the yellow glue sets up,
what about contact cement?

It won't be as strong and secure as yellow glue. Try using painter's masking
tape to hold the wood edging in place. I'm not Mr. Krenov, but its worked
well for me - found it on one of those woodworking tips pages.
