treeslayer Posted March 12, 2015 Report Share Posted March 12, 2015 I would like to use a paper pattern for a project I have that requires multiple pieces, is there a spray adhesive out there that anyone has used that is not so strong that I could re-use the paper pattern multiple times without tearing it to shreads trying to get it off? Thanks for the help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Woodenskye Posted March 12, 2015 Popular Post Report Share Posted March 12, 2015 What about using the paper pattern on a thin piece of wood, then using the wood as the template moving forward, then you wouldn't have to worry about needing a new paper pattern for each piece. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treeslayer Posted March 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2015 a couple of great ideas, should have thought of the 1/4" hardboard with double stick tape, not enough coffee today I guess, thanks for the help, I knew this was the place to come Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stobes21 Posted March 12, 2015 Report Share Posted March 12, 2015 Rubber cement would work too, especially if you use card stock or some other thicker paper. It isn't a spray, but it is cheap and very easy to come by. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use 1/2" if it's not too curvy and doesn't require the scroll saw. Depending on the complexity of the pattern, (and potential pucker factor), there's always the option of doing it once, and using a flush trim bit on the RT to replicate the rest, either with the template or the first completed work piece. 1/2" template always feels a bit safer on that bearing, and the ply holds up better than hardboard, and doesn't get the fuzzys on the edges when working out the bumps.
