Adhesive paper vs Labels

[scrollsaw4u]

Hello Everyone,

I know a specific technique may not please one but another...but just wondering.

I have noticed different vendors of adhesive paper / wonder paper etc. When I saw them, it seemed to me "this is just a full sized label". I went to my local office supply store and bought a pack; pleased with myself for saving on the shipping and handeling charges (which is around 1/2 the cost of the labels themselved). I do like what I am using...but.

Was wondering if anyone out there have used the adhesive paper, and if they can tell me the difference between them and a standard (full sized) label..

Thanks much
Cheryl

hey cheryl
not much help here i thin im on the same page with you to went to office depot and foun the same paper as you havnt had a chance to try it yet though im still waitin on my saw to get here i used to used the spray glue and that to worked well when it would stick to the wood it would sometime come unstuck so i had to wing it here and there but i do hope that it works well. question do you have a ac moore where your at? if you do they have sales every now and then up to 50% off on purchases you get the coupons on line just print em out instead of paying 10 bucks you pay 5 for 6 sheets not sure how well itll come off the wood though i usually use goof off to get the glue off the wood good luck i hope it works...

Cheryl,

I am not sure about the difference, but I suspect they are one and the same.
I went that route using full page lables, I found it to be very inefficient unless you fill up the whole page with patterns I tend to just print one small pattern so the whole page label was a waste for me. . I now print my patterns on the back of used paper ( I save all my misprints from work etc.) and use spray adhesive, still the most economical.

Rolf,

You are right, that is why I (literally) cut and paste small patterns to fill the whole sheet.
Usually when I make something small, I cut many of them so that is not a problem for me. Personally, I don't want to even try the spray adhesive...since it has toluene in it (very nasty chemical) - and I am very sensitive to things, and have animals in the house don't want to take the chance with the spray.

I have a few sheets of Wonderpaper that i got in Ohio last year at the SAW Expo, but I can not seem to find where I put it, but when I do, I plan on giving it a try and posting my thoughts on it, but like I said, first I need to find it !!

For those of you using full size labels, to save some money, try onlinelabels.com. I can get a package of 250 labels for about the price of 100 at an office supply store.

I was readin these post and had a thought about smaller projects and using adhesive paper and labels.

could the project be printed onto adhesive mailing labels or I found adhesive name tags about 3 by 5 inches.

Also my printer prints onto photo paper that is 4by6 inch, could the adhesive paper be cut down to this size and ran thru the printer?

I think yes to all of you ideas Don....

i usually use goof off to get the glue off the wood good luck i hope it works...

Tugbtr...I use Mineral spirits to remove adhesive. Cheaper than goof off and no residue left behind and doesn't stain the wood or change it's color.
