Before I attach a template to a piece of wood, I cover the wood with 2'' wide blue painter's tape. Then I spray 3M adhesive to the tape and attach the template over that. Removing the tape from the wood is now very easy - As a matter of fact, you can even re-use the template a few times.
Cool idea. I make copies of most of the templates on my puter so I have a big envelope with the originals plus using the heat gun to remove the ones glued on I can usually use them over too, not always though. For a lot of parts that require 4 or less I also glue the wood sheets together then when they are cut I use the heat gun to get the wood apart. The spray mount glue I buy at the arts and crafts store works for a lot of things. I also buy a three pack of the stick glue that has replaced paste for a lot of the template use.
Cutting and sanding the kit itself is very easy, going over the plans and finding the mistakes takes some time. Usually there are only minor errors in plans but my favorite flying plane from MAN plans is one constant mistake and nothing fits. The finished product flies so well it's worth the swearing to build one. The 80 inch Sukhoi 29. Pain in the butt but worth the effort!!
