Re: What is the latest understanding on keeping wet epoxied pieces from getting glued to the work-table ?

Drive drywall screws through waxed block (use floor wax) or with wax paper underneath. Remove screws & blocks after epoxy has set up and fill holes with epoxy.

I always use the 3 to 4 mil poly sold in the rolls of 10' X 25'. This is thick enough that it will be wrinkle free unlike the really thin drop cloths or most bags. If small pieces, one of those 3 or 4 mill contractor bags will work. You can clamp this directly onto epoxied surfaces and after it has cured will just peel off. Thin poly will tear off leaving little pieces behind that can be time consuming to get off.

There are many common plastics that epoxy doesn't stick to. I've had
good results with plastic trash bags. Make a couple of quick cuts, and
you can open them up into flat sheets to cover more area. For larger
pieces, I suppose any type of plastic sheeting would work, such as a
tarp, painter's "dropcloth," etc.

I use a large roll of wrapping/freezer paper that I get from Costco, lasts about 10 years in my shop. It has a shiny size that epoxy doesn't stick to.

I use a fairly thick, clear plastic drop cloth material.  When laminating, I wrap the laminations in the plastic after I apply glue and then clam the whole package to the form. It saves a lot of mess on forms, work surface, clamps, and me. Cleaning up the squeeze out is the same aggravation as always, but at least the clean up is confined to the lamination!

LeeValleysells these sharp pointed pyramids to support painted work--have not used them myself but they might work as well for epoxy see "Painters Pyramid"---Finishing section of on line cataloguehttp://www.leevalley.com/en/home/OnlineCatalog.aspx?id=6c0230a6  It says that people used nails or screws for the same purpose.
