If you have a few minutes check out my latest video on You Tube on how I attach and remove a pattern on wood. :) Simply Wooden Creations (http://youtu.be/ZLJGiNsfoy8)

Good video Russ.  I wish I saw this tip a week ago because I just bought 6 rolls of painters tape. O'well

I'm definitely going to try this.

Hey Russ, 

   Great video.  I do everything you do except for removal of the pattern.  Remember I am a woman and I think outside the box.  Instead of using mineral spirits I take the finished cutting and stick it in the microwave and nuke it at 10 seconds intervals and the pattern peals off.  9 times out of ten I can reuse my pattern, thus saving me more money.  I use the same spray glue as you or sometimes I will use glue stick and have had great success.

Hi Russ  Cut out your Heart pat. last night and took an even thriftier approach. I used no tape, no mineral sprites, and VERY little spray adhesive. I even let the adhesive dry to the point it almost wouldn't stick to my fingers.  After cutting, the pat. pulled right up.  PS, I have a friend who almost always finishes his cuttings with Watco Danish Oil.  He doesn't even attempt removing his patterns. He just dips his ornaments in a pan of the oil and it loosens his pattern at the same time. Might be a little impractical for larger pieces but your foam brush with Danish Oil might kill two birds at one time.
Assuming one wanted the danish Oil finish.

Finished cutting & backing your Heart design Russ. My wife is very chemically sensitive so the B/BB is au naturel. For a little color, I added the translucent red 1/16" plexie on the back.  I'm sure she'll like -you get the design credit - I'll keep any associated kisses.   ;) Brian
