Tape For Backers Instead Of Glue

[kmmcrafts]

Being I've been working with lasers instead of the scroll saw this year I've been following more laser message boards. 

I run across this topic the other day on one of those message boards about this double sided tape for projects that have a backer... I've not bought any and have no experience with this stuff but thought it was interesting and it may work well for those scroll saw projects too. On the laser site they say they attach the tape to the back side of the front piece and cut it out then they just sort of peel and stick to the backer board. I don't know how forgiving this stuff is as far as if you don't get it lined up correctly if you can remove it and reapply or what so if you try it or have used it before then let us know. I know most of the use for this in the laser community is for small ornaments and such and I also know many of those folks make a jig to do their gluing so they get it lined up every time so maybe it's pretty sticky and that is why they use a jig? Also they mention they like the 6" wide as the 12" gets a little tricky to apply evenly.. also some mentioned they just place 1" strips rather than covering the whole thing..

Just thought I'd share this info as I haven't seen any mention of it in the scroll sawing community.. If you have used it or give it a try let us know how it goes.. Might be a issue with scrolling as spinning the project on the saw table may wear off the peel and end up sticking to the saw table? That would be my only concern for this use.

Please to this 3M site and dl the "3M Industrial adhesives and tapes" brochure. The brochure has a number of tables and charts to help you pick the right adhesive for the job you want it to do.

I answered this in your other thread with what I use FastCap tape. Excellent tape.

We use double face tape (ATG) every day in our framing business.  I have it in stock on our website.  Here is a link: Hand Held ATG Tape | Pegas scroll saw

Denny,

      What is the product # of your ATG tape? I used ATG tape every day for more than 26 years in an Art Framing business.        We found out, quite by accident, that 3M make at least three versions of the tape. They can be described as; light duty (barely stickes, great for repositioning), medium duty ( this is what we used the most), and Heavy duty ( OMG, that's not where I wanted it ) we were accidently sent some HD and it was a PIA.

I was also in the custom picture framing business.  

We had a frame shop and art gallery and did very well for 23 years, then the C word (COVID)popped up and you know the rest of th story.  Anyway, we used 3M924 exclusively, and it was good, but only after you burnish it thoroughly, when applying mat boards to a valued piece of artwork, I also used Titebond2 on the mats.  I didn't trust the tape.

This is just a personal opinion, take it for what it is worth.
