Kepy Posted August 3, 2015 Report Share Posted August 3, 2015 I should have learned that it isn't always correct to listen to others ideas. I was working on some cedar given to me that was sawmill cut and not all clear. In order to locate the pattern in clear areas, I decided to glue the pattern directly to the wood and then remove it with mineral spirits. I'm aware that some of you like that but it created a big mess. The pattern lifted but not the glue. I am used to being able to sand immediately rather than wait for the glue to dry. It's back to the painter's tape for me. LarryEA and Larry A. Blakely 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smudger Posted August 3, 2015 Report Share Posted August 3, 2015 Have you tried repositionable spray adhesive I use it all the time with no problems, you just peel it off when done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WayneMahler Posted August 4, 2015 Report Share Posted August 4, 2015 If your talking about the adhesive for the pattern. Mineral spirits works pretty good on it, use fresh paper towels or rags and store appropriatly after. I have also ways stuck with the blue painters tape because it to me seems a lot cleaner to remove. Best of luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken O Posted August 4, 2015 Report Share Posted August 4, 2015 I did the same thing once before too. I had the same nightmare of trying to get the glue off. Never again. The tape thing is just too easy to not do for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amazingkevin Posted August 4, 2015 Report Share Posted August 4, 2015 i MIX ACETONE AND MINERAL SPIRITS TO GET OF THE PATTERN AND GLUE IN ONE SHOT.And then a quick wipe with a paper towel and it's clean as a whistle.Maybe your using a water based glue .Th mineral spirits and acetone wont touch it and makes a mess .I will never use tape!Ever!
