Normally I attach my patterns using spray adhesive but last time I restocked I could only get Fullers Spray Adhesive. I am not particularly happy with this product as it is very difficult to remove when it has been applied directly to the work. I know I could apply the pattern over painters tape but these are production items and spray adhesive is quicker.
Question what do other scrollers use here?
I used to use a spray adhesive from "Bunnings" & it worked quite well but can't remember the brand name,then I found one at our local" spotlight" store & it is called crafters choice spray adhesive,It also was a tad cheaper. I spray the wood & the back of the pattern & I find that if I brush some turps over pattern when the job is complete after a few minutes the pattern will peel off quite easily. Cheers Peter
Thanks for the idea Peter, I haven't got a Spotlight store nearby but have a Lincraft. They have lots of crafty stuff. The Fullers brand adhesive is the only one i could get at Bunnings and Masters ??Quote:

The laser print or photocopy is an acrylic emulsion, and the heat transfers it to the work. Remove the attachments and proceed. Easiest cleanup I know.
Do this when SWMBO is absent. A soldering iron also works, but is much more tedious.

Thanks Joe! Your suggestion is worth a try, although, for me, not very convenient when scrolling away from my shop at demos etc.
