Hi everyone, Presently, I'm in the middle of producing a small desk clock. I needed two pieces of the project to be identical. I drew the pattern and cut it out. Since I needed two pieces identical, I decided to bandsaw the parts together, so I purchased some spray adhesive, I then affixed the pattern to the top piece and joined the other part
to the top piece, also using adhesive. After cutting and sanding the joined pieces, I separated the two pieces and the pattern. Then, I sanded the surfaces where I used the adhesive. The short of this, will the adhesive have any effect on whatever finish I choose? Have a great day and thanks.
I haven't used spray adhesive for this, but I use double sided carpet tape to attach router templates all the time. Never had any issues with finishing. The spray adhesive would be wet when first applied and might penetrate pores in the wood a bit more. That would be my major concern with an open-pored wood like oak, but Brad indicates it works well.
I use spray adhesive to attach paper pattern printouts to masonite when making a pattern template, but once the masonite pattern is shaped, I use carpet tape to attach to the project wood (spray is overkill for that).
If you have used spray adhesive, definitely remove it before sanding to avoid mushing it around (some stuff like 3M "77" never sets hard).
I've had success with mineral spirits followed by lacquer thinner to get all the residue (and wished I had never done it in the first place 8^)
