heppnerguy Posted February 3, 2017 Report Share Posted February 3, 2017 Timothy has been a huge help to me with my pattern making efforts has several others too. The other day, Timothy posted a Kuala Bear that is native to his Australia and after I have the honor of having a couple of my meager patterns cut by others, and now know what it feels like to have others find one's patterns worthy of their time to cut, I want to take my time to cut one of Timothy's patterns. I really like his pattern skills and it just happens that I have been looking for a Kuala Bear pattern to cut for over a year. So thank you Timothy for making and posting exactly what I have been wanting for all this time. CRC spray glue, that I have been using for a couple of years and expressing my delights with it,.....must have changed their formula, as I recently had to buy another can of it and the first thing I noticed was there was no longer a mixing rattle ball inside of the can and next that they changed the style of nozzle. I thought, "It must be even better now or they would not have changed it." Wrong....I have tried it on two patterns and right away found that is no longer does the job I have come to love from this product. My patterns are no more sticking as they always have but instead they lift from the board as I am cutting , I mention this because on this pattern I had that problem and it made a job out of fun. On the lower right of the pattern, I had to make a little modification in order to be able to even finish this project, For that, i apologize to Timothy for screwing up that part of the piece and hope you understand.

worbler Posted February 3, 2017 Report Share Posted February 3, 2017 Well done on the cut and thanks for the mention. No need to apologize, the pattern is more of a guide than anything. heppnerguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scrappile Posted February 3, 2017 Report Share Posted February 3, 2017 That is a great looking bear. I always wanted on for a pet! As for the spray glue, it seems to me that I am experiencing the same thing with the 3M Super 77 that I have been using since I started scrolling. I have been going to try some other brand when I use up my can. I hope to find one with a marble so I can add to my "spray can marble collection"! Been going to ask you if you bought BB from Windsor Plywood last time you were here? I am not happy with the last sheet I have purchased from them. Seems to chip more and have a lot more little knots in it. I wonder if they carry a lessor grade than other stores I have bought from. I am going to shop around some next time I need some more.

DukeNukem Posted February 3, 2017 Report Share Posted February 3, 2017 As far as your cutting it looks great and as for mistakes I feel the only person who's gonna see it is the cutter so no worries there. Anyway I was having the same problem with the spray I was using and switched to loctite high Performance and it seems to do a good job also has the metal ball.

The first sheets I purchased there, I was not happy with, I now am more selective and pull sheets only after I have taken a pretty good look at them. most seem to be OK, but one does need to check them out first Dick hepppnerguy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordie, It happens that I had bought a can of Elmers at WalMart some time ago and was excited to be able to get my old standby and almost forgot I had it. Well, when my regular spray glue started failing me, it dug out my Elmers and it is working just fine...no problems so far.. I guess that is going to be my go to glue, at least for now Dick heppnerguy Gordster 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I too dropped the blue tape awhile back. I found about all the tape was doing was causing unneeded time to remove it. Mineral spirits is so fast and no little pieces of tape to mess with Dick heppnerguy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wombatie Posted February 5, 2017 Report Share Posted February 5, 2017 Sorry Dick but I really have to set you straight about a couple of things.. Firstly it is Koala. And secondly it is NOT a bear and it as no relation to a bear. Now that I have that off my chest I will go back and finish reading your post.

Sam777 Posted February 5, 2017 Report Share Posted February 5, 2017 Dick, Nice job. I like the detail work you did. Keep them coming sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wombatie Posted February 5, 2017 Report Share Posted February 5, 2017 That is one fantastic looking Koala. You did a great cutting job Dick. Why do companies change what is a good product and make it a terrible one? Do they want people to stop buying it? I would send them an email, they may not know that it is not as good as before. Just a thought. Marg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
