Title: Adhering Pattern to Wood.... :+}
Post by: Danny on February 25, 2012, 12:11:04 pm

Been using the method of painters blue tape and spray glue what seems like forever.  Well I decided to invest in the Self stick paper.  Have cut Three different projects with 100% success.  Does not lift up when cutting and pulls off about the same as the tape.  I am pretty much convinced that I may not use the painters tape and spray glue again.  Only time will tell huh?

Danny, do you find that it lifts the wood grain at all when you peel it off?  Just curious, 'cause with relatively cheap self-adhesive paper available online, I just might have to give this a try.

Are you talking about the same type of adhesive paper as they make mailing labels from?  Obviously larger.

some people are buying them on EBAY. i bought mine a Staples the brand is TRUEBLOCK White mailing labels. there more expensive, by the time i buy them on ebay in US, funds plus shipping and customs ETC it's just as cheap for me to go to Staples and get them.

I use the same as Newfie.  I take in the empty ink cartridges from my office (instead of throwing them out) and each month get a few bucks in "Rewards" dollars.  Last month I got enough that a box of 100 sheets of self stick 8 1/2 by 11 cost me $10.  That should last a good while.
