New to Scrolling

[yorky]

Just ordered my first scroll saw as i wanted to have a go at it, the saw i have started with is a FERM-400R not a really expensive bit of kit but some thing to start with. I found this site quiet by chance and wondered if anyone can advise me on the type of spray adhesive to use to attach patterns to my wood

[koehler788]

any spray like 3Msuper 77 it is removable after a short time or if it is hard to remove, use mineral spirits and loosen.krylon makes an easy tack but i am having trouble finding it

Thanks i will have a look for some but most of the spray adhesive's i have seen say they are heavy grip 

[amazingkevin]

Try spraying the heavy tac spray on a scrap piece of paper ,let it get sticky or tacky and then apply to scrap wood .wait a bit and pull off or use mineral spirits and wipe on or spray on with an empty spray bottle.see how that will work for you.thanks for finding us,You'll make many great helpful friends here!

Yorky, hi and welcome, strangely enough I bought some from Rymans yesterday in Birmingham, I'm sure there's a similar type shop by you.  It's called 3M Spray Mount and cost £15, try googal'ing it as you may be able to get it online.  I've also seen it on ebay.

Hi, I use crafters companion repositional spray, my local arts and craft shop sells it but I have seen it on ebay, its about Â£6 per can. Oh, yes, my local shop is Osbournes, maybe theres one near you, I know they are dotted around the country.

If you apply the blue painter's tape before applying the pattern, it won't make any difference as to the type of adhesive.

I also use blue painter's tape, but I use a glue stick to apply my patterns onto the blue tape..this is an easy to find product and so is the glue stick. It also is very inexpensive and easy to relmove and apply to wood. Best of all it leaves no glue residues. give it a try, I think you will like it .
