Anyways, you'r right. It is less work to clamp not directly to the wood. Sometimes I had to sand extra time 
I was using a body template to put it between the top and the clamps, but finally I like to have more control and see how the top is gluing, from center to the sides. |

First, I was drawing the limits:    |
