Popular Post chevysman21 Posted December 31, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted December 31, 2020 These are 2 more that I was able t cut this month. Charles Dearing pattern Zombie Santa and Helder Botas Rose from the movie Titanic. The zombie santa I am very disappointed in because the BB ply started to separate while taking the pattern off . I was using painters tape on that one but Rose was a little different, I used press n seal instead of tape.

trackman Posted December 31, 2020 Report Share Posted December 31, 2020 From were I am setting I don’t see anything wrong. Especially with MS Rose John B, chevysman21 and frankorona 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrankEV Posted December 31, 2020 Report Share Posted December 31, 2020 (edited) Cuttings look good. I'm not a Zombie fan but I like Rose. Hard to see any delamination faults in the pic. One trick is to make sure you sand the cut panel well down to a least 200 grit but I go down to 600 grit before attaching your tape for the pattern. Also, when removing the pattern make sure you peel the tape in the direction of the wood grain, NOT AGAINST IT, in order to minimize lift up. And, Duck brand shelf liner available from walmart is a better than painters tape, removes easier and a lot cheaper. Just my personal comment and opinion. Your pics would look better if you placed your cut panels on a solid dark background (if not the planned backer) and shoot them as perpendicular to the panel as possible.

Scrappile Posted December 31, 2020 Report Share Posted December 31, 2020 The reason I do not use tape... I glue directly to the wood, take the pattern off with MS. Nice cuttings. Smitty54, dgman, chevysman21 and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zoot Fenster Posted December 31, 2020 Report Share Posted December 31, 2020 Outstanding work! To keep BB from surface chipping / delaminating, I sand the blank lightly with 180G, wipe with water, sand lightly with 320 grit to remove raised grain, spray or wipe on shellac, sand back with 400 grit. The shellac bonds the surface fibers and sands glass smooth. It works on drawers and boxes. I have not tried it on scroll saw patterns. amazingkevin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben2008 Posted December 31, 2020 Report Share Posted December 31, 2020 Don't like Zombies but Rose is really nice. Actually, both cuttings look really nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lawson56 Posted December 31, 2020 Report Share Posted December 31, 2020 I have to agree with the rest, no big fan of Zombie's. But Rose is Awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John B Posted January 1, 2021 Report Share Posted January 1, 2021 (edited) Very nice cuttings. A credit to you. I'll have to go along with the crowd, Zombies don't do anything for me, now Rose on the other hand BTW I find that to minimise fibres being pulled up when using blue tape, I do as other have suggested, sand to 360g but remove the tape by pulling it back on itself.
