What can I use to keep excess carpenter's glue from sticking to something?
I've got to glue and clamp something, and there will be overflow of glue
that I don't want sticking to the wooden clamps. Does waxpaper work?

Yep, quite nicely...

A good waxing of the clamps will work as well.

But, I'd work hard to try to eliminate/minimize squeeze out from a place
I'm clamping as a matter of practice if at all practical...

A damp cloth and a wipe up! Have one handy, before you start.

You can wax your clamps before using them. Any wax will do, furniture
bees or car wax. ...

I'd suggest avoiding automotive waxes or others with silicone. The
silicone can wreak havoc w/ finishes on down the road...

You can wax your clamps before using them. Any wax will do, furniture
bees or car wax. Or, consider applying a coat of varnish or
polyurethane to the wooden clamps. Don't go overboard with the
glue--a small amount of squeeze-out is what you want.

Carpenters glue is intended to glue carpenter ants together. You dont
need to wipe the ants, they lick off the excess.

Reasonably well. A piece of heavy plastic drop cloth material works
better. Or plastic tape.

He said the "wooden" clamps.

I wonder if the glue might also ooze onto the "something" that he's gluing.

It is kind of hard to imagine the glue coming in contact with the
clamps..it seems that would indicate the use of way too much glue. If
possible, just apply glue and press the pieces together by hand first to
express the excess glue and wipe it off well with a damp cloth. If not
cleaned off well, it can interfere with stain and/or final finish.

He's probably not worried about that, since he only specifically
mentioned the clamps.

I'm suspecting he hadn't thought of it specifically and is somewhat
unexperienced...as someone else noted, the clamp in the location where
squeezeout would be expected doesn't sound like clamping in the right
location as well as excessive glue besides...

Wrap the jaws with masking tape. Dried glue peels off easy.
Also use less glue -- what are you gluing?

Wax works. I like saran wrap or packing tape.

Waxpaper works fine. So does a strip of a plastic waste basket liner,
srips of trash sacks, slices of WalMart shopping bags, etc. Anything
polyethylene is fair game. HTH

Slightly OT, but when working with epoxy, coat anything you don't want
stuck with Vaseline.

e.g. put Vaseline on the threads of bolt to hold a nut in place, then
epoxy the nut where you want it. The bolt will spin right out after
the epoxy sets.
