ST501 Double Sided Adhesive Tape, 36 yds Length x 1 Width Paper

I have tried several different brands over the years and glad I stumbled ( the a woodworking review ) this tape. I use this around the perimeter of my templates with a few strips in the field depending on how large the template and it holds with zero issues even on heavy 2" trim cuts. I use a rubber mallet to secure the two pieces together and a heavy gauge scraper to pry them apart leaving no glue residue. It's been over 6 years that I've been using this same ST501 for this application

This double sided tape is excellent for pattern cutting as it pertains to woodworking. It's easy to work. You can tear it as easily as masking tape. It adheres and holds the pattern forms firmly. With no residue or tear-out when you pull your pattern off. Excellent product. Just be sure you have no dirt, sawdust before adhering.

This tape is fantastic. It's very easy to separate and it holds very well. Great for woodworkers

I first got used to using double sided tape while working in the aviation cabinetry world. We used it constantly. Primarily for securing a straight edge while routing a detail, or fine tuning an edge as in fitting a door to fit its opening. I use it all the time for just this kind of work. It's labor saving. The adhesive sticks securely but lets go without marring wood surfaces. Just make sure you press firmly to set it in place. You can trust that it will hold temporarily, but let go.

Worked well for taping small pieces of wood to hold stationary when sanding with an orbital sander.
