glue removal

[kes]

can some one tell me how they remove their patterns after without leaving fuzzies from the cloth. I find that when I spray clear coat on my projects that it leaves fine hairs that are noticable. Any suggestions would be a help.
thanks kes

Kes, I use Mineral Spirits to remove the pattern and if I feel any glue residue on the wood I use a little more MS and wipe off with a lint free rag. If by chance I notice any fibers after spraying on the finish I use a super fine sanding pad (found at my local hdwe) to touch up those rough spots or knock the fibers off.

Kes, I sand the wood to 320 or 400 grit then apply lavender masking tape to the wood. Then glue the pattern to the tape. I can leave it on the wood for days and not have a problem removing the tape and pattern.

I use the same process as Paul except that I substitute fine store bought sand paper with a section of paper bag for the final touch up.
