Have you tested wax paper?

Wax paper works fine as well for yellow and white glues, have not tried it with CA.

Being a model railroader I can tell you that CA does not stick to wax paper...nor aluminum foil. Poorly to delrin but doubt you'd be in that ball field.
What's this info for?

In many situations it is nice to have a work surface or clamping caul that will not stick to the part or project -- make sense?

I wish I was non-stick. A few nights ago, I "found" a bottle of CA I was missing. Turns out, it had spilled on a piece of scrap on my bench and I found it by putting my whole hand into it and then grabbing the bottle of CA. I quickly pulled it off with my other hand, only to end up with my right hand fingertips glued to the bottle. Luckily, I was able to get it off, but my wife sure got a good laugh out of it! I needed her acetone to remove it, so I was forced to go into the house with a bottle of thin CA glued to my fingers to ask for help. Should have just routed the bottle off. It would have been less embarrassing.

I keep a gallon of Acetone in the shop for just such emergencies. Three weeks ago I ate dinner with a pen blank glued to my right hand because I didn't have enough time to safely remove it beforehand.
