Pattern transfer

I cover the wood surface with white contact paper, and then apply the paper pattern using the spray adhesive.  This elliminates any cleanup of the wood, as the contact paper peels right off easily.  I also cover with Clear packing tape, and it does make a difference in the amount of cutting I get from a blade.

 

Printer paper works very well.  Its all I have used,  I spray the adhesive to the back of the pattern, position it on the contact paper, and then tape it before cutting.  MUCH easier to follow the printed lines vs the traced ones, and accuracy is greatly improved. 

 

On larger Intarsia patterns, I make multiple copies (usually 4 or 5 will work) and then cut out each individual piece, and apply them to the wood.  makes a big difference in fitting parts together.
