To make getting patterns off easier I use Duck brand clear shelf paper. It is cheap to buy, last a long time, easy to use, and you can get it at Walmart as well as other places. To get started I lay down the shelf paper which has a sticky back on the wood. I then spray on my adhesive and install the pattern. The shelf paper doesn't leave any residue on your wood. It also lubes your blade so it doesn't get hot. Also, the shelf paper and pattern come off easier.
