The adhesive is never identified further. The spray adhesives 1 have found work fine for gluing the pattern to the wood, but you need solvent to remove the pattern, which leaves the workpiece stained. What spray adhesive do you use and what solvent removes the pattern? Bob Hoffman McMinnville, Oregon Our reader claims that how-to articles are less than forthcoming when it comes to giving good advice on spray adhesive and its use. Lever Cap Lever Cap Screw Cap Iron Blade A I use 3M's General Purpose 45 Spray Adhesive in a light-blue can. I've found that you can actually peel off the paper if you remove it within a couple of hours of applying the adhesive. If you wait longer than that, just soak the paper with mineral spirits, let it set for a few minutes, and then peel it up. Wipe off the glue residue with more mineral spirits. Scrape or sand to take off any remaining adhesive that might still be there. I haven't had staining problems using this method.

QI am a novice woodworker just learning the craft. I purchased a couple of planes and am having difficulty adjusting the blades after sharpening. Could someone give me some insight into the proper method to adjust a blade? Also, one of my planes has a screw and the other has a lever: what are they for? As you see, I know almost nothing about planes. Richard Lumley Copperopolis, California A You don't describe the planes, but I'm assuming they are bench planes. The visible screw on the top of the plane is used to adjust the tightness of the lever cap. The lever cap keeps the blade assembly — blade and cap iron — firmly in place. The lateral adjusting lever is used to make the blade parallel to the sole by moving it left and right. By your admission, you are a novice woodworker struggling with a plane. It is not an intuitive tool by way of sharpening, adjusting the blade or using the tool. I'm not in the habit of self-promotion, but you might look at a DVD (available from Rockier) I made on the subject entitled Tuning, Setting the Blade, and Planing Techniques. — Ian Kirby RECALL NOTICE !
