General Scroll Saw Talk / Re: Using "Painters Tape" --OR NOT-- :+}

« on: December 23, 2013, 11:31:51 am »

Hi to ALL....You are right Spirithorse that we all need to use the method that we like the best.
                  Back last year I Swore that using Painters tape was the Only way to go.  That was because I had been using it for many, many years.  Using the adhesive backed paper was only a experiment.  In fact I didn't like it at first and the batch of sheets I bought off Ebay sat in a cub-bard for a year.  Tried it again 6 months ago and all worked Great and never looked back to the painters tape and spray glue. 

Judy that was last year on buying this.  No link I know of now.  Sorry....   :+(

Oh well....Just another of my 2 cents....  Danny  :+}

This subject has come n gone, but I just had to say my feelings. 
     Have been Scrolling for 8 years.  The Majority of them I followed
the methods proven by other members which is applying Painters Tape
to the Wood blank and using Spray Glue applied to the Top of the Painters Tape
and also to the bottom of the Pattern..........WELL....... I have been CONVERTED.

I experimented with ....White 8.5X11 sheets which has a Peel Off back and will
STICK to the Wood Blank PERFECTLY.  I have successfully Completed DOZENS
of projects using this and all it takes to remove the Pattern is a little HEAT. 
I use a cheap Heat Gun.  Only takes MINUTES to take the pattern off. 

When I think of all the MONEY I have spent on PAINTERS TAPE and SPRAY GLUE
it makes me feel ILL.  LOL 

I bought 250 sheets of the self stick sheets on EBAY for $15.00 Last Year. 

Sorry for this being so lengthy, but I just had to say MY FEELINGS....  Danny  :+}

You just got the Excitement bug thing going with this project.  Never did this, but will in the near future.  First idea I got was to take time with each piece of index card and use felt pens and color a random design on both sides where the ornament will occur.  Neat.  Danny  :+}

Hi all....  This Cross will test your ability to cut Curves and turning the blade on a dime. Quickly
I cut 2 up with BB 1/4".  Think I should of cut one up on a Thicker Stock.  To late!  Did cut a backer for both.  Was fun cutting it once I got my confidence up.  Danny  :+}

Heres what I was taught here....Mix the BLO with 50/50 part Mineral Spirits.  Helps a lot with the drying time and looks Great.  Also can use the Danish Oil products.  Have different colors.
I personally prefer to use Lacquer for the final finish.  Spray can.  It drys pretty fast and always needs a few coats.  My 2 cents....  Danny  :+}
