Two small pieces of tape applied to every clamp in my shop has made glue-ups go a lot smoother. On the first piece—applied to a visible area of the fixed jaw—I mark the clamp's capacity in inches. That immediately tells me the correct clamp to grab from the rack. Another piece of bright green tape, applied to the end of each bar, serves as a visual warning, preventing accidental bumps into the ends during glue-up.
