I have always used a clear shelf liner first, then I only print my patterns on full sheet adhesive back shipping labels and stick it onto the shelf linered wood. I have never had any issues removing the patterns even from the smallest most detailed fret work I ever cut. No spray adhesive and no blue tape. Sammy

Thank you JT. The bottom text I used my newly aquired laser on 1/2" hard maple it is just laser etched. As for Danish oil, wouldn't drip and cause isicles on the bottom side as it is drying? that is my concern about any liquid finish. I don't need a top coat. Thank you

Pegas Blades: Type R MGT blades OR SKIP blades
Sam777 replied to Sam777's topic in General Scroll Sawing
Thank you all for the comment and advice. My saw is Excalibur 16 and I don't pay attention to the position of the blade. I will from now on I will report the fuzz situation when I cut next. Thank again -
Hi all, Whenever I scroll I mostly use 3/4" thick wood (Oak, Birch, Walnut). I am sold on the Pegas MGT blades but sometimes I get fuzz in the bottom depending on the wood. Would SKIP blades reduce that issue? Thank you in advance for any advice Sam

Thank you all for the replies. I am glad I'm settled and ready to be back on this great forum and scroll sawing God Bless Sam
