A tip from @maggiethebear on using double stick Scotch tape instead of rubber cement to attach paper designs to silver for sawing.

Here is a sawing tip from @maggiethebear - โ€œHereโ€™s at a tip on how I put my designs onto silver. I use double stick Scotch tape! Rubber cement is often a suggested adhesive, but I find that it reacts to the heat & sweat of my fingers, causing my designs to slip around on the surface. I never experience that with Scotch tape. The peel is so satisfying and you can reuse your stencils.โ€ Maggie thank you for letting me share! Nice work ๐Ÿ™Œ we love all the sawing tips around here! #sawingsilver #makingjewelry #silversmith #silversmithing
