: What’s the best glue to use when gluing full size paper templates of stations
: to plywood?

Rubber cement is cheap, neat, available at any stationery store, or the staionery counter of most drugstores, and grocery stores. It is easy to apply, and generates no overspray.
If you coat both paper and wood and let the adhesive dry you can use it as a contact cement. If you coat only the paper, then it will not make the paper curl.

Excess can be cleaned up with an eraser or easily sanded off.

You if you only apply the cement in spots along the cutting line, it is extremely easy to remove the paper paterns for any future use. You can rub the excess cement off of them and file them.
