I am considering a purchase of these: Bessy I-Beam 48 in. Capacity Heavy-Duty Industrial Bar Clamp.

I was able to use a set recently and found that Titebond II glue stuck to the beam. It was
very time consuming to remove. It felt like I was removing epoxy. Has anyone found
a material besides temporary tape to remedy this?

Perhaps a good coat of buffed out paste wax.
