I made the mistake of spraying a clamp's bar with WD40. WORST thing I've ever did construction wise. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif lol

Trick I learned from another cabinetmaker.

Keep a can of Johnson Paste wax around and every so often just wipe a coat on the slide bar, keeps the bar rust free and the dried wood glue will flake right off.

If the wood glue is on the bar the clamp slides on, just take a putty knife and scrape it off.
If it's on any other part of the bar clamp, just chip away at it or just leave it be.

As long as the dried glue is not interfering with the usage for clamping purposes, just leave it.

I have bar clamps older than me and are caked with wood glue, I just keep the parts that need to be kept glue free to work.

ive tried to scrape it off and its stuck in between the notches where it slides on the bar and on the threading for the handle. dunno how it got everywhere like that though. makes it a real pita when i cant get it all the way down and gets stuck. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

Hate to break the news to ya, but once wood glue is dry, not type of cleaner is going to remove it and if their was one, I would of told ya about it.

Best thing to do is when your glue sh!t up is to have damp rag handy for wiping it up and cleaning if off stuff before it dries.

I have one and have used it for a few builds, but still like the screw method for most builds.
As long as you shoot them straight you'll be fine....

Thats my problem, I can never shoot them straight..

yep wiping up wet glue is a lot easier than sanding away the extra. Once the rag dries all crusty . Stick it in your worst enemies car or bag or something for someone else to find //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/naughty.gif.94359f346c0f1259df8038d60b41863e.gif It resembles something else ..........//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
