Securing blanks for Scrolling.... :+}

[danny]

I know there are different methods for keeping blanks together while scrolling, but just decided to

snap pics to show my way.  Might a been around a long time, but want to say I have experimented

with other ways.  Aileens glue sets up in less than 5 minutes.  Ready to cut. 

 

And also after using different ways to attach a pattern I have decide this is the best for me.

Sand blanks.  No tape on blank.  Spray pattern lightly.  Attach and cut.  The pattern usually

peel off easily, but if not a spray of Minerial Spirits does the trick.

 

Haven't seen this subject in a while, so Discussion Time.                       Danny  :+}

 

SECOND PIC SHOW JUST A LITTLE BITTY DROP OF GLUE IN EACH CORNER. 

     Maybe this gluing method only works for circle or oval patterns.

I  like that idea ,Danny ,Thanks!

Thanks - as a "Newbie" I'm glad to learn this.

Looks like an easy way of doing it Danny. I clamp the stack together first, then using a hot glue gun apply a bead of hot glue to the edges of the blanks. By the time I finish the last edge, the other edges are cool enough to remove the clamps. No waiting time at all!

I do use Aleene's tacky glue for everything that needs gluing except when laminating boards together. For that I use Titebond III.

I'm with dgman on the subject, as for Aleene's tacky glue I think down here it's pva glue

Hey Danny, my shop is in my garage so odor is never a problem, but today's glue sticks really don't have an odor.

As for it being hot.... Yeah it's hot, don't touch it!

When I'm cutting something like that in a stack, the brad nailer works great in the scrap areas.  I still use the blue tape under the pattern as it leaves the surface cleaner.

Danny, That sounds like a great method and if it works for you, stick with it.

And I like the idea of hot glue on the sides.

[WayneMahler]

I still use masking tape around the stacks I cut and cover with blue painters tape. I have talked to other scrollers that use the hot glue and they are happy with it. Seems what ever works for you is the best way to go

I always use screws to the salvge when done i remove the screws to use next time
