Fast Fix
Many woodworking tasks require two pieces to be held together temporarily. You have several options. Clamps are an obvious solution. However, they often get in the way of tools. Screws or nails work if you have a way to conceal or cut away the holes they leave behind.
I’ve used masking tape for band saw work. But you can end up cutting through the tape joint. Double-sided tape is a common shop supply for many. Some folk find that double-sided tape pulls up the grain of a workpiece. Here’s another option that combines masking tape and instant glue for quick results. -Larry Darrylson Gary, Indiana
Tape & Glue.
Apply a few strips of masking tape on one of the workpieces. Dot the tape with a small amount of instant glue. Not too much, you don’t want any squeezeout.
Tape & Spray.
On the other piece, apply more masking tape where the two pieces will meet. Then spray a the tape with instant glue accelerator.
Hold & Release.
Press the two pieces together to activate the glue bond. When your work is complete, you can pry the components apart. The masking tape peels away cleanly.
