Glue for Templates UK

[No Idea]

Hi All

 

Could someone please recommend a good glue that I can purchase in the UK for fixing my paper templates to the wood for cutting out and shaping?  I would imagine that the templates will be in place for quite a while but I don't want to do damage to the wood underneath when I remove them.

 

Thanks for you help

Hi Mark

 

I use a simple glue stick when applying templates to the wood. It's easy to remove the template afterwards with fine sanding paper, without destroying the underlying wood.

Hi Per thanks for the reply - do you use something like this Pritt stick?

Hello, I've used Asda or Tesco own brand gluestick for all my templates,  dampening with a sponge removes paper and glue residue although I do leave templates on if not seen and just remove where I need to glue parts together.

Thats great thanks very much for your help - I'm off to buy a glue stick and get going on this build

I print items to be cut out on label paper.  Cut out the part drawing just outside the lines of the drawing, remove the backing and stick it on the wood to be cut.  If the wood is clean when the paper is applied it will stay on for a long time.  It peels off with relative ease and the wood is clean.  I usually give it a scrape with a razor or swipe with sand paper just in case there is any residual glue although if there is any there, I have never seen it.
