kywoodmaster Posted May 4, 2016 Report Share Posted May 4, 2016 3M general purpose for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgman Posted May 4, 2016 Report Share Posted May 4, 2016 3M Super 77. Just a light spray on the pattern, let set for about 30 seconds then apply to bare wood. A heat gun or a spritz of mineral spirits will easily loosen the pattern. WayneMahler, vykus and NC Scroller 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Johnson Posted May 4, 2016 Report Share Posted May 4, 2016 I prefer 3M Super 77. There may be others that are good but I've always been satisfied with this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WayneMahler Posted May 4, 2016 Report Share Posted May 4, 2016 I use 3M 77 and have never had an issue. Would definitely recommend this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KurtP Posted May 4, 2016 Report Share Posted May 4, 2016 I use the 3M Super 77. I tried another brand once and the pattern kept lifting while i was cutting. I never have that issue with the 3M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrolling Steve Posted May 4, 2016 Report Share Posted May 4, 2016 I have used both 3m general purpose 45 and 3m 77....Both work for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amazingkevin Posted May 4, 2016 Report Share Posted May 4, 2016 I use 77 for things i don't want to come apart like stand up pictures.Lock tite comes in various tacks i like medium and high performance,Low tack is not the best,then there's drywall corner bead adhesive i get from the big box stores .I use that also for stand up pictures.there's a few others i've used but don't have the names for you.Water based glues in spray cans were the worst.hope this helps.

Jim Finn Posted May 4, 2016 Report Share Posted May 4, 2016 When applying paper to wood I use a thin layer of white glue and flatten it out with a dry paint roller. Dries in a few minutes. Sand the paper off when finished. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orangeman Posted May 4, 2016 Report Share Posted May 4, 2016 3M's "77" product for a good permanent bond! Elmer's for patterns I need to remove. In fact, I buy Elmer's by the case from Blick's bb Lucky2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoney Posted May 4, 2016 Report Share Posted May 4, 2016 I have used 3M 77 for quite sometime. Has a very good bond especially for fretwork patterns with lots of fine detail. It is a little pricier than some other adhesives but works really well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chachi111769 Posted May 4, 2016 Report Share Posted May 4, 2016 You want to save money and get the same results go to walmart in the sewing /hobby section (you may have to look for it) you will find loctite all purpose repositionable spray glue in a blue can with a green label at half the cost of the 3m "77" stuff and it works just as well if not better at half the cost...

crupiea Posted May 4, 2016 Report Share Posted May 4, 2016 I use the cheapest spray glue that walmart sells. To apply my patterns i quickly spray the back and i mean quickly. not even 1 full second of spray. i then set the pattern aside and touch the back. if its too tacky, it will be a nightmare to peel off. i wait until its just barely tacky and then put it on the wood. Comes right off after i am done cutting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill WIlson Posted May 4, 2016 Report Share Posted May 4, 2016 I've used several different types over the years. Loctite General Performance spray worked really well for me and was much cheaper than other brands. Unfortunately my local Lowes stopped carrying it a year or 2 ago. I never worry about how hard the pattern is to remove. I want it to stick like crazy, because if a detailed fretwork pattern starts to lift during cutting, that is a major pain. I spritz on a little mineral spirits and let it set for a minute and it comes right off. I know lots of folks don't like messing with the MS, but I'd be lost without it.

bandaideman Posted May 4, 2016 Report Share Posted May 4, 2016 I use Loctite 200 I get it from Walmart. I used 100 but did not hold good enough. there is I think a 300 and 400. the higher the number the stronger the stick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DWSUDEKUM Posted May 4, 2016 Report Share Posted May 4, 2016 I have used a variety of spray glues from the one you can get at Harbor Freight to 3M 77. They all work ok. I just use what is cheapest at the time. DW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky2 Posted May 5, 2016 Report Share Posted May 5, 2016 I use Elmers repositionable spray glue, I've tried 3M77 but I found it to be to sticky and hard to remove. Len Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Young_Scroller Posted May 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2016 wow thanks for all your replies, I will probably start off with a cheap can from walmart and go from there after i see how it works Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NC Scroller Posted May 6, 2016 Report Share Posted May 6, 2016 Another 3M 77 lover here. I have found the cheapest place in my area to buy it is Lowes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iguanadon Posted May 11, 2016 Report Share Posted May 11, 2016 Because I'm lazy and hate dealing with residue, I cover my wood with cellophane packaging tape, then spray my adhesive on that and apply my paper pattern. When done, the tape peels right off with no residue or glue to clean at all. And the tape lubes the blade a little bit as a bonus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul hd Posted May 11, 2016 Report Share Posted May 11, 2016 I started off using the 3M, I now use Pritt stick. I actually prefer it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
