Darragh: I personally stack as many pieces that make up to 1-11/4 inches and then hot melt glue the edges together.

I drill holes toothpick size holes in the waste areas and then insert round toothpicks glued into the holes  Clamp them for a few minutes and away you go.  The stack is not going to move.

I either wrap the stack with painters tape or else shoot brads in the waste area.

I use hot melt glue in the waste areas. Just a couple of dots does really well. Fast and inexpensive! :)
