    You’re not supposed to spray your thumb Kevin! I have no idea about the whether Kevin as we never, or hardly ever have freezing whether. My current can of 3M 77 is almost empty. In fact, I have been expecting it to Peter out for weeks now But keeps on ticking. I spray my patterns on a pizza box sitting on my work bench. We do pizza ever Friday, so I always have a box to spray on. As long as I wipe off the nozzle after every use, it will keep spraying until it empty.

    The nozzle clogs up because the glue builds up on the opening of the nozzle. It takes two seconds to wipe off the nozzle after each use. Also, I keep a couple of nozzles in a small jar of mineral spirits in case I need a fresh one. But since I have been wiping off the nozzle after each use, I haven’t needed to change it.

    I’m always concerned about patterns loosening while I’m cutting. I use 3M 77 spray adhesive on the pattern, no tape underneath. As Brenda mentioned above, I spray mineral spirits on the cut pattern. It will lift right off. Then wipe off the mineral spirits and you’re good to go. If you don’t want to use mineral spirits, then you can heat the pattern with a heat gun or a hair dryer. The heat will loosen the adhesive and the used pattern will lift right off.

    They look very nice Brenda! Question, are those dog names or people names?

    Just remember Ralph, just because you’re not scrolling doesn’t mean you stop coming here. You are a family member and we need to hear from you regularly!

    All woods absorb and release moisture as the humidity in your shop raises and lowers.the trick is to keep equal moisture all around the board. When you bring a board into your shop, place it so you get equal air movement around the board. The proper way to store new wood is to stack and sticker. That is stacking the boards with narrow, thin sticks in between the board to keep air circulating around the board untill the boardS acclimate To your shop environment. If it just a board or two, lean them against a wall or your bench so there is equal air circulation. The biggest mistake folks do is laying the board flat on a workbench. The top of the board will absorb moisture and the bottom won’t, guaranteeing the board will warp. A good Online source for scroll ready wood is Ochooch hardwoods. But if you order from them or any source, you have to do ad above.

    I have never reused a pattern. Once it’s off, it goes in the trash.

    What ever works for you is good as long as it is a topcoat.

    Very nice work Brenda! One thing about portraits is if you go off the line it doesn’t matter, most of the cuts are just abstract shapes.

    Very nice work Denny! Question, why apply lacquer over shellac? Or why have shellac under the lacquer?

    Beautiful work Frank!

    I definitely recommend a topcoat after the oil is dry. I like spray can lacquer. Others use polyurethane or shellac . A topcoat is necessary to protect the wood. Oils from hands will eventually penetrate the wood, and so will dust and dirt. It will soon become hard to keep clean.

    Think about it, if you have to go to the drugstore for a wood finish, there is something wrong there!

    Looking forward to seeing your new work Dan. As far as wasting time, it’s well over 110° here, and probably hotter in my shop. I hate wasting shop time but it’s too hot for me!
