I need to use wood glue to re-attach the bottom panels of my kitchen cabinets. I cannot use a vise due to the position of the panels.
I would use painters tape. It wont leave a residue when you pull it off.
Have you checked out "Gorilla Glue" for wood, it is fast setting so it is possible you will not need to use tape at all. It comes in a clear liquid , go to a hardware or craft store and read the directions before buying, it might be just what you need.
I've always been a fan of duck tape. However, this might leave a residue on the wood and it is not so easy to clean off. However, this is one of the stronger tapes and seems to hold better.
Painters tape
Use duct tape it is really good.
