Have you considered tape? I use blue masking tape a lot for quick clamping. You might need something a little more tenacious like strapping or duct tape.

Or, you could use hot-melt glue even if you use clamps elsewhere. One dot of glue on each form will be easy enough to break.

: deck shearline strip in place so I can continue to move along?
: Thanks in advance for suggestions,
