For a long time I used the blue painter's tape and glue method, but I kept having trouble getting all the tape off without it taking bits of wood with it.  So no I mostly just glue the pattern directly to the wood and use mineral spirits to remove it.  That has worked fairly well for me though sometimes I put a bit too much glue on and have to scrub the wood a bit to get all the sticky residue off.

I don't use tape,I never seen the need to, I've never had a problem removing the pattern remnants. I've been tempted to try using tape, but, that's only because of what I've read about other scrollers using it.

I use what sign makers call Transfer Tape.

I apply that directly to the wood,

I print all my printing on full sheets of Avery white labels,

I apply that to the wood after I had stuck the Transfer Tape to.

Never had an issue with removing paper after the project is done. (keep in mind I don't scroll saw as much as any of you guys/gals)
