kmmcrafts Posted May 2, 2018 Report Share Posted May 2, 2018 (edited) I’ve seen where it was mentioned to use wax paper. I get into trouble if I touch the wax paper again . So I found that a plastic garbage bag works well, and no additional garbage being made since you can still use the bag after the glue dries. I also use a body filler spreader to spread the glue around on the bag. Then just dip the piece in the glue and glue up. I did about 6 backers in just a couple minutes. Hope this tip helps someone from sleeping in the dog house after using all the wax paper. Don’t ask how I know.

oldhudson Posted May 2, 2018 Report Share Posted May 2, 2018 I bought my own roll of wax paper and keep it in the shop. I got in serious trouble years and years ago. I need a container to clean the table saw blade in...the coffee can and everything else I found was too small. I took Rubber Maid pie container. I still use it. It works super. BUT that was the last time I took anything out of the kitchen for the shop. kmmcrafts, OCtoolguy, Sam777 and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTTHECLOCKMAN Posted May 3, 2018 Report Share Posted May 3, 2018 Wax paper is so cheap and I use it alot when gluing pen blanks up or using a jig to hold glued up pieces and it works so well why mess with success. This method is probably good for what you are doing if that is the way you like to glue backers. too me too much glue and squeeze out can occur unless I am not following your method. Hopefully it can help someone Always good to get different methods. OCtoolguy and kmmcrafts 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meflick Posted May 3, 2018 Report Share Posted May 3, 2018 Thanks for sharing Kevin. Maybe if you ask nice, she will get you a couple rolls of wax paper of your own. I am usually the one repurposing items from the kitchen to my workroom. At least I don’t get in trouble that way. kmmcrafts 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kmmcrafts Posted May 11, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2018 I just wanted to update this... For what it's worth.. I went to glue up another set of clocks I made this week a couple of nights ago.. and I looked at the same old trash bag.. wondered if there might be a clean spot on it from the previous use and guess what.. the glue from the last time was peeling off.. so I wiped it down a little just by brushing my hand on it.. and all the dried glue from last weeks glue ups came right off.. so I used the same trash bag as last week.. so.. I suppose I'm doing my share of keeping the wax paper out of the landfills.. LOL.. works great.. and re-usable.. when it becomes time to need a new trash bag for glue ups.. I can use it as a trash bag.. LOL.. Not sure if any old trash bag will do the same thing.. and couldn't tell you what type of bag it is but it's working great for more than one purpose..

Uncle Ricky Posted May 13, 2018 Report Share Posted May 13, 2018 I never thought of that, I'll have to try that out, sounds like it would be better than the frezzer papper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
