One that Al Carruth told me about was the plastic rings you get from a six pack. They are the exact same width as a fret slot. After slotting, fill slots in with the plastic and remove after the fretboard is bound. Saves scraping glue out of the slots. I haven't tried this yet, bit I will.

Now that-the six pack rings -deserves Nobel recognition or Sierra Club or a grant from Miller,Bud,etc. "Honey, I must drink these beers-I have to finish out this 42 fret bound fingerboard by tomorrow morning!"
