Transferring from drawing to wood

[Pascoe,Tim [Burlington]]

    If you use Spray77, or other contact adhesive, the paper will come off
even easier if you apply a little heat from a heat gun. That way, you can
leave templates attached to the piece for some time if you need them for
reference, and still get them off easily.

I use a light dusting of 3M77 spray adhesive to the paper (xerox copy or
whatever). Apply a very light coating to the paper ONLY. Cut part
immediately after applying the pattern to the wood, then remove the paper
immediately after cutting. If you do this it peels off very easily. Key is
Light coat of adhesive, apply paper pattern just before cutting, and peel
off immediately after cutting.
 
Another technique that I have used is to lay the plan over the wood and
prick around the part with a pin...into the wood.
 
I have also used carbon paper under the plan, trace around the part.
 
One word of caution about using paper drawing products. Paper shrinks and
expands...so don't necessiarly believe that the part is correct. Check some
key dimensions. The same goes for xeroxing.
