A clamp holds a wall panel against an adhesive bead on a wall frame support assembly as the adhesive bead cures. The clamp is actuated to secure the clamp to the support assembly adjacent the panel and hold the panel against the adhesive bead as the bead cures. In a preferred embodiment, the clamp includes a clamping portion having vacuum chambers and a reference surface. A vacuum is drawn on the vacuum chamber, thereby pulling the edges of abutting panels against the reference surface, drawing adjacent panel edge portions of the panels in the parallel relation. The clamping portion also includes a mechanical control which secure the clamping portion to the support assembly holding the panels against the adhesive in coplanar relation. In a method according to this invention polymer adhesive is applied to coplanar surfaces of support members. A clamp is placed adjacent a panel and actuated to hold the panel against the first surface of the clamp. Securement structure is then actuated to hold the clamp and panel at a desired location as the adhesive cures.
