peel and stick

[tinker1]

tried the peel and stick Steve was using, and now i'm sold on it also
works great!.
easy to install on wood, no peeling while cutting, and no residue left on wood.
thanks to Steve for passing along the tip and video.

I’ve also been using it and quite enjoying the ease of removal.

I agree, have been using it since Steve mentioned it. It works great!

I also use the same but different brand name.

Here in the UK we call it sticky back plastic.

I, too, am another happy user of the peel and stick.

Do any of you that use this, do you do detailed fret work.  Like real detailed pictures.  I would like to know if it works well for that?  I don't want to experiment on a detail picture I have spent a few weeks on.

I have used it on closely cut frets, sometimes within a 1/8". It appears to stick well without lifting. The only time I had any lifting was when I applied it first to one board, changed my mind and peeled it off and applied to a second board. It started to lift in the closely cut areas, but still was usable.

Actually Steve got the idea from someone on the scrollsaw Village forum, glad you all like it, RJ

I used it today on some christmas ornaments, on one i had lifting but it was the pattern not the peel and stick.
I also used a different spray adhesive so im thinking more along the line of spray adhesive the issue, applied more adhesive spray.
so far peel and stick is holding.

I use peel and stick  on most cuttings. Putting it on the bottom of a picture puzzle increases blade life, no burning and makes the binding tape much easier to peel of.

I have found that the peel and stick is great on hard wood.  I did 4 puzzle dogs on poplar and not one lift.

I have found that on Baltic birch and pine that if close cuts it has a tendency to lift up.  See pic for issue.

So I selectively use peel and stick.

Baltic birch can be rough, pine can be too did you sand it smooth to see if it helps stick better, just make sure it clean of sawdust, I use my air compressor blow gun and blow off anything I sanded before applying patterns to make sure it s good clean surface to stick to.

Watch Steve's video in the first post.

It is available at https://www.walmart.com/ip/Shelf-Liner-Roll-Clear-12-inches-x-30-feet/16224481

I have been using more and more but if the cuts are really tight I use blue painters tape.

I just finished a detail picture using 1/4" Basswood.  I used the peal and stick shelf liner, clear.  It worked fine as far as no lifting while scrolling, but when it came time to remove the pattern, that was a different matter.  Took me over two hours to get it off, having to work very slowly and cautiously.  In several places the paper would come off but the liner was still stuck.  Really hard to see it because it is clear and much thinner than tape.  I finally got it off without losing anything, so I sanded the picture as I always do, and gave it a bath in MS/BLO.  It has been sitting for three days drying.  I picked it up today to look it over before applying Deft over it and under the light I can see residue from the liner that I could see or feel before.  Not sure what I will do now.  Guess sand again.  I don't think I will use the shelf liner again on a detailed picture.  If I do, I will try some colored liner,  Not sure why it has to be clear. 

All I am saying here is, yes it works, but on real detailed pictures, and soft wood, like Basswood, I for one will go back to the blue tape.

This is the picture I cut, so you will know what I mean by detailed picture:
