Letters continued Hoffman (replied to by Chris Marshall) regarding gluing patterns to wood so there is no residue left when the plan is removed. I place green painters tape on the wood, making sure I cover it fully (regular masking leaves residue). The green tape claims to be easily removable without residue after up to seven days. I then can use almost any type of spray adhesive and spray the paper plan with a light coating and attach my plan to the green tape. — Jim Porter Calgary, Alberta An alternative to spray glue is ordinary children's glue sticks, using the tape also. By using this method, you don't need to use mineral spirits to remove patterns: they peel right off. — Greg Aksdal Pembroke, Georgia For years, I used two-sided tape, but that wasn't really cost-effective. When I tried spray adhesive, I didn't like the sticky mess. Then I found out that self-adhesive shelf liner, applied over the entire surface of the workpiece, works fine. Spray your pattern and apply it to the shelf liner. It works on my most intricate pieces, and it's removable with no mess. — Ray Kaufer, Richland, Oregon Strong reactions were the order of the day when it came to our coffee table / folding bed project. I use masking tape and Elmer's® white glue. I sand my project to at least 150-grit and clean well, then cover the piece with masking tape on the face. I then "paint" the top with the white glue and spread my pattern out, working out all of the air bubbles. Once the glue dries, the pattern is smooth and ready to work. When I'm finished cutting the pattern, I "peel" the tape and pattern off, sand the piece with 220-grit to remove any residue and wipe the piece with mineral spirits. I don't know how much the spray adhesives cost right now, but other than about 30 minutes' dry time, the cost is most likely comparable. — Tommy Ensley Mountain City, Tennessee Letters continues on page 10 ... Our readers have much to say on the topic of attaching patterns to the workpiece. Spray adhesive is not always their first choice.
