|  What's Best? Whats' the best way to attach a pattern? Spray wood w/adhesive then attach pattern or spray pattern then attach to wood...or spray both? I have blue painters tape on the wood. Any help well appreciated! Smitty

| Spray the pattern and attach directly to the wood. Never spray the wood itself. Then cover in clear packing tape. That is one method and it works for me. Others will have differing opinions based on personal preferences.

| I put the clear packing tape on the wood, spray the pattern and put that on top of the tape. It really helps with cutting down sanding time. Never ever spray the wood, always the pattern. Tom |

| Smitty, as Thomas said never spray adhesive on the wood just on the back of the pattern. Having applied tape to the wood you could spray both surfaces. Don't know if you would gain anything by spraying both the tape and the pattern, maybe the pattern would stick better. I apply tape to the wood after sanding it to 320 grit then spray the pattern and stick to the tape. I use the purple tape and can leave it for weeks and it still removes easily.

| What Mick said! I use blue tape instead of the purple. I would never apply the pattern directly to the wood. If you do then you will need stinky unhealthy solvents to get the glue off the wood. If you search this forum there has been lots of disscusion about this subject.

| I use rubber cement on the paper and let it sit overnight on the wood before drilling or cutting. Removing the pattern is easy and a light sanding will take off the residue. I only use the clear tape on stack cutting. This is not the best way but is the one I am more comfortable with. Find the one that works best for you and have fun. |

| This has been a constant discussion. Seems to fall into one of three categories (in no special order). 1. Pattern drawn directly on wood. Either by hand or with carbon paper. 2. Pattern adhered to wood. Some use spray adhesive, glue stick, or rubber cement. Clear packing tape is sometimes used over the pattern for blade lubrication. 3. Tape on wood. Tape can be clear packing, blue/purple painters tape or masking tape (normally the cheap stuff). Pattern is than glued to the wood the same way as above. Again, clear packing tape can be used on top of that if desired. There really doesn't seem to be a BEST way. I'm sure that any of those ways can be nitpicked for some reason. My suggestion would be to try a few and see which one you are most comfortable. Oh yeah, my preference is blue tape. I have been using a glue stick to adhere. Still learning with the glue stick. No problems with overspray, but the sticks run out pretty quick. If I'm doing fretwork, or anything with tight corners, I use the clear packing tape on top.

|  Who knows what the Best !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Smitty : Its going to be something that your going to have to try and decide which style you want to stay with. I just spray the pattern only, and when I get done I use a cheap Harbor Freight heat gun and the pattern just comes off so easy. I have never used the clear packaging tape but I can see the aid in it. the packaging tape would lube the blade in the cutting process. Well that"s my story and I"m sticking to it !!!!!!!! Marshall
