Here is another tip in removing patterns

[spiderman]

Here is a tip that I found and steve good never cover in his videos lol.... not only that you can use an heat gun but you can also use the microwave for about 20 to 25 sec then the pattern well come off the wood nicely... Thats if you use the spray glue

Not in my WIFE'S microwave you don't!

Still easiest to put the blue tape on first, spray glue, place pattern on, cover with clear tape, all comes off at once. The clear tape is a B***H to get off the wood, blue tape prevents that! Yup I wrap the blue all the way around, only takes a couple minutes, I taped and everything in less than 10 minutes and was drilling holes!

Does the blue tape leave the wood sticky?

[tux_linux]

Yes, microwaving the hole thing works.

clear Tape can be a mess, I have one from "Tesa" here that works well. The other one from Tesa, a matt one, doesn't work that well. painters tape is also quite ok - but leaves marks when left on to long.

Nope sure doesn't.

NOTE:
Regardless of what method I happen to use to adhere the pattern to the face of the project, I always take a minute after everything has been removed and carefully wipe the entire face of the project with Mineral Spirits just to be certain that all residues and dust have been removed before finishing.

I have used the microwave for years.  Works great.

I sometimes use the painters tape first.
when I glued straight on the wood I use thinner to remove it. works quit OK, but always mis some spots....
they get know when applying clear lacker.... 

so can start over sanding the hole thing....

So next time I try the microwave!!!

I used the microwave earlier today when I was removing a pattern and I found that It worked great, but it was not a complete peel.  I still ended up using some Goo Gone to remove some of the smaller scraps of the pattern and the stickiness that the glue left.

I have always put down the blue tape first. It just cuts out a lot of the sticky mess.. the pattern will fall right off when you microwave.. but you will still have adhesive on the project. Blue tape cuts out both steps for me..

I sand the blank first then use a quality brand of blue tape first on the wood.Followed by the pattern sprayed with adhesive and then covered with clear packaging tape. It leaves no residue and comes off easily.

its simple cut wood until hungry  heat food up then eat as u heat projects up i belive i will be trying this out

Only problem with that is that most of my projects are to large for the Microwave.  Still like my methods.

Nice tip. I would be excommunicated in my home for that one though.
