Taking a poll

[Tdub4ever]

I use painters tape on solid wood, on top only and glue pattern to the tape so there is no residue. On BBP I glue the pattern to the wood. I have tried painters tape on BB, but when I take the tape off it always pulls chuncks of wood off with it. I use clear packing tape only when stack cutting.

I use painters tape on top only. Works great for me.

Painters tape top side only. 

I have tried top and bottom and didn't like it - it folded over and stuck to the saw table.  I couldn't figure out what was wrong bad blade or what.

I use painters tape on the top. I wrap the edges over if I am stack cutting to hold the pieces together (unless I need more support and use another method) Then I use a regular craft glue stick to stick the paper pattern to the painters tape and cover with a layer of packing tape.

painters tape, glue and then pattern. I think I might have to start using the packing tape sounds like it helps with the blades

[Kragax]

Glue pattern directly to wood, remove with mineral sprits.

[Sparkey]

I use clear packaging tape.

If cutting baltic birch plywood   I use blue tape top and bottom, 3M spray pattern on , and then clear tape over pattern on top.

Might seem like a little over kill, however when finished cutting, peel tape , pattern off alltogether.  Really helps with the lubercating

of reverse blades, and cuts down trementiously on sanding.  Nice clean cuts top and bottom.

 

Works for me

I use the tape so I don't burn any of my blades, they seem to last longer.

I use blue painters tape to hold stack together then spray glue to hold pattern. I will also use spray glue directly on the wood and then use heat gun to remove then clean up w/spirits.

No tape here,
