Can you recommend where I can buy full sheet shipping labels?do you copy the patterns onto them? Is 3M77 in a spray can, & can it be purchased in a lumber yard or would I have to get it at a hobby shop? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrsN Posted August 5, 2017 Report Share Posted August 5, 2017 I use regular craft glue sticks. I stock up this time of year when the school supplies are on sale. I use this method because I don't like the fumes of spray glue. johnnyo, SCROLLSAW703, GrampaJim and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I put my patterns on the good face of the wood. Painters tape peels off pretty easy, just be careful around the "fragile" areas of your work. johnnyo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edward Posted August 5, 2017 Report Share Posted August 5, 2017 I use 3M 77 on back of patterns then adhere to painters blue tape on the project. edward johnnyo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tuner Posted August 5, 2017 Report Share Posted August 5, 2017 There are a lot of different ways of doing this. Don't thing there is a right or wrong way. 3m 77 works, so does just about any spray glue. Glue sticks. Even watered down white glue. All methods have pro's and con's. Some glue the pattern to the wood, some to tape, shelf lining, ect. Some go the extra step of clear packing tape over everything. I believe it holds the pattern better and is said to lubricate the blade. Try different ways see what works for you. johnnyo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crupiea Posted August 5, 2017 Report Share Posted August 5, 2017 I use the cheapest generic spray glue they sell at walmart. no idea what the brind is. Spray a super light coat in the back of the paper, super light coat, like 1 second for the whole pattern. Now wait a few minutes so it is just barely tacky. Picture a post it note amount of stickiness, thats almost too much but will work. apply it to the wood. It will stay on just fine and peel right off when done. johnnyo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is 3M77 in a spray can, & can it be purchased in a lumber yard or would I have to get it at a hobby shop? They can be purchased at most any office supply store...however kind of pricey there.. I buy packs of 500 or 1000 from a eBay seller.. while a big chunk of money up front,, way cheaper than small amounts at a office supply store.. I also use the shelf liner.. put it down on the wood... print the pattern on the label paper.. peel and stick to the shelf liner that is already been placed into the wood.. I like this method over the spray glues etc as there is a lot of mess around the spray glues from over sprays.. This is simple and clean..

Montserrat Posted August 6, 2017 Report Share Posted August 6, 2017 craft glue stick works perfectly, and comes off easily. I also avoid spray bottles! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Re-positional glue is strong enough to stay in place and the tape is there to give the blade a lubricant and peels off easier with it stuck on top you can buy it at any craft shop or sometimes at the cheaper shops like poundland etc. Roly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Docupton Posted August 6, 2017 Report Share Posted August 6, 2017 I use Craft supplies re-positional glue, i spray the back of the pattern and and put it directly on to the wood, stays put, removes easy and little or no residue.
