Katie,
I would like to tell you that is about the way I got my heat gun/hair dryer but the truth be known.......
My wife's hair dryer went on the fritz and wouldn't work so she went and bought another one. When I found the old one in the trash (being cheap) dug it out and took it apart and found a loose wire that was causing the problem. 
I was using it in the shop one day when she came in and ask where I had gotten it. When I told her what I had done of course she wanted to know why I hadden't fixed it for her!!!!!! 


You didn't ask.

No heat gun and the Boss would frown on my using her hair dryer. 
What ever works best for you!
Gabby

Well DOH!!!!! Go buy her a newer, better hair dryer and ask for a trade in on the old one. Then we have TWO happy people and you might even get your favorite supper and a big smooch to boot!

Rog I'm sorry to say that won't work here. I'll just have to find one in a thrift store for pocket change, whenever I have any that is.

I sure do thank you all for the advice.  I tryed putting the tape on the bottom.  When I went to take it off, I had to use a putty knife.  Will a heat gun help take the tape off and the patteren on the front? 

[dgman]

Gene, A heat gun will work, or if you don't have one a hair dryer will work. This is why I put the tape on top of the pattern. After you are done cutting, The tape comes off easaly with the pattern.
If you still have trouble getting the tape off, use some mineral spirits to loosen it. Following advice from our member Dunk, I have a spray bottle filled with mineral spirits to spritz when needed.

[geneVG]

Can you spray the mineral spirits on top of the pattern or if you put tape over the pattern you just spay it over that and no putty knife is needed?

Oh Yeah,  A big thanks to Dunk for the spray bottle hint.  Yes Gene, just spritz the tape with a little mineral spriits and it will lift off, adhesive and all. 

[geneVG]

Thank you.

why doesn't the tape come of? sounds strange to me, normally you should be able to just pull it off.

Photo possible?

[geneVG]

I will get a photo of the picture as soon as possible.

I find that sometimes when I have tape on the back the fuzzies from the cut make it hard to peel the tape off. Instead of one nice sheet like the front usually give you get little bits and pieces. I use a knife blade or razor to help lift the tape to get it to peel better

[geneVG]

I used a putty knife to take the tap off, as long as the pty knife is sharp ,

Blue tape top and bottom, no need for putty knives, or spray bottles or heat guns. Tape is cheap.

Would Old Gabby stear you wrong?
Just peeled the junk from the trivet today took a few minutes (maybe5) the only tool I used was a box cutter to start lifting it, from then on it was a breeze.
