Proceed to put sticky stuff on pole (2,2)
I believe the answer is:
go on
'proceed' is the definition.
(I know that proceed is a kind of go on)
'sticky stuff on pole' is the wordplay.
'sticky stuff' becomes 'goo' (goo is a sticky substance).
'on' means one lot of letters go next to another (in a down clue, letters appear on others).
'pole' becomes 'n' (abbreviation for North, as in North Pole).
'goo'+'n'='GO ON'
'to put' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for go on that I've seen before include "Silly person - bully (US)" , "Continue" , "Hired thug" , "Stupid person or ruffian - go on with it" , "Peter Sellers, Spike Milligan or Harry Secombe" .)
