Whisper Posted January 30, 2020 Report Share Posted January 30, 2020 (edited) I made a couple of them today, the spider web type. I made one before and I don't like doing them. lol The only reason I'm making them is for practice, but every time I do them, the patterns fly off. I used contact paper before. Today I used tape, doh. Did. Not. Work. I get kind of stressed out making them with the pattern floppin' all over the place. But I persevered and made 2 stacked. I think I need to get some mineral spirits and glue things directly onto the wood. I do pretty good when I use carbon paper to draw the pattern onto the wood, nothing in the way, like that. How do you keep your patterns from trying to run away from home? lol Edited January 30, 2020 by Whisper SCROLLSAW703, TripleJScroller, OCtoolguy and 6 others 7 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerry1939 Posted January 30, 2020 Report Share Posted January 30, 2020 I was happy with shelf liner paper and 3M 45 spray glue on the back of the pattern. Note that the wood needs a little sanding after the shelf liner is removed. There is a slight stickiness left over. jerry amazingkevin, Whisper, SCROLLSAW703 and 1 other 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fredfret Posted January 30, 2020 Report Share Posted January 30, 2020 Is your wood free of dust? Any dust sanding, saw will cause the pattern to lift. I use a tack cloth or a damp cloth to clean the wood before attaching tape or shelf liner. OCtoolguy, Whisper and SCROLLSAW703 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JTTHECLOCKMAN Posted January 30, 2020 Report Share Posted January 30, 2020 Blue painters tape under the pattern. Tape does not come off unless you pull it off. Pattern sticks better on an underlayment as opposed to directly on wood. The grain is not flat so lots of air spaces under it where pattern does not stick. Some people use shelf paper. I am going to try this because I bought rolls when Iggy posted the link for a sale on it.

SCROLLSAW703 Posted January 30, 2020 Report Share Posted January 30, 2020 Sounds like ya probably oughtta get yerself a spray bottle & pour mineral spirits in it. Lightly spray the surface yer fixin to glue to, wipe that down with a CLEAN cloth & let it dry, then glue yer pattern down. If'n yer glue ain't holdin, ya ain't givin it enough time to sit after ya glue it to the wood, or the glue is old, or, they ain't enough glue on yer pattern to hold it in place. A feller should give yer fresh glued patterns overnight in order fer yer glue to set to yer lumber, otherwise yer gonna keep havin the issues yer discussin. I use 3M 77 spray adhesive on all my patterns after I tape the wood with blue painters tape. The patterns stick in place and I ain't got any problem with them movin.

spirithorse Posted January 31, 2020 Report Share Posted January 31, 2020 Hi, Linda, I still like the blue painters tape and 3m77 spray glue but, temperature and humidity makes a huge difference. Spray the glue as think as possible while still getting complete coverage and let the glue tack up for about 60 seconds or so but, make sure the wood and the can of glue are both warm. If it is cold and damp here, I take the wood and glue can into the house to come to room temperature and then glue it up in the shop. (I'm frugal, I won't heat the shop just to warm up the can of glue! LOL) Hopefully one of the tips you got will work out so you know what works best for you. God Bless!
