No Idea Posted October 31, 2020 Share #1 Posted October 31, 2020 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 Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution Per Rise Posted October 31, 2020 Solution Share #2 Posted October 31, 2020 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.

Edwardkenway Posted October 31, 2020 Share #4 Posted October 31, 2020 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. bruce d, No Idea and Canute 2 1 Quote Current builds; Henry Ramey Upcher 1:25 Providence whaleboat- 1:25 HMS Winchelsea 1764 1:48 Completed: HM Cutter Sherbourne- 1:64- finished Triton cross section scratch- 1:60 - finished Non ship: SBD-3 Dauntless 1:48 Hasegawa -FINISHED Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

allanyed Posted October 31, 2020 Share #6 Posted October 31, 2020 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.
