In Response To: S&G: patterns on plywood (Ryel)

: I'm ready to cut some plywood to put together a S&G but I am concerned about
: spraying glue onto the plywood. Will the glue (that holds the pattern
: down) seal the wood so that the epoxy will not soak in? Is it a better
: idea to trace the pattern shape onto the wood?
: What are your thoughts and experience?
: thanks
I have never used full size patterns for an S&G but I would not use glue to fasten them to the plywood. It would be difficult to get the glue, and the paper as well, to come off without a fair amount of difficulty. Do like you suggest and trace the pattern shape onto the wood.
