What is a good spray-adhesive to attach a pattern to the wood for scroll sawing? I see so many different types and brands on the market. TIA, Bob

I use 3m 45. Others like the 3m77 and some use duro. Some use elmers. Whatever you end up liking is the right one."Still Montana Mike"

I've used several and the most appreciable difference, IMHO, is price. The Duro product is no longer available under that name. The equivalent is Loctite 100. I used some for the first time this weekend and it works fine. Anytime you are using a new brand that you aren't used to, spray it a little heavy. Better that it be harder to get off than to start lifting while you are cutting.Homer : "Oh, and how is education supposed to make me feel smarter.

LOCTITE 13.5 Oz. Acetone Adhesive is not any good for fret cutting.
It might work for large cuttings, but when doing fret the patterns comes off when doing cuts that are close together.
LOCTITE just does NOT hold well, seems like the cutting loosens the pattern next to the cut. (I did the permanent bond method) will try the 3m next.
here is another thread.

I was using the 77 and bought some Elmers because it was cheaper .... but it keeps coming loose from the blue tape so i am going back to the 3M77. It's been very aggravating to be in the middle of a cut and have the pattern come loose. A good tip is to have a glue stick handy and use that to re-apply if needed.Jerry

I definitely am sold on the 3m 77. I tried glue sticks, didn't hold. I tried Elmer's spray adhesive, came loose while I was cutting. 3M 77 sticks! I also use blue painter's tape on the wood and glue the pattern on top of it.
A spray can lasts a long time.

Reply to Question about tilting head sawsby RolfI have both types of saw A tilting table Hawk g426 and an Older Excalibur with a tilting head. Unlike Carole for bevel cuts I prefer the tilting head I do larger projects and it is easier for me.
Regarding compound cuts they are cut at 90 degrees.

Reply to Question about tilting head sawsby handibunnyIf you have a good saw, and can set the table accurately, you should be good to go. Give a holler if you need help. ๐
Randy, I swapped out the clamps on the Jet for the Pegas clamps as soon as they became available. I found the Jet clamps just too fidgety for my taste.-
