Removing paper pattern

I have a pattern that I put on a piece of birch with Elmer's washable
school glue, I know I should have used my spray can of 3M spray
adhesive. But I can't get the can unclogged (someone know how?) and
needed the patern cut right away. Sooooo, how do I remove the paper
now?

If the tip is clogged, then all you have to do is steal a tip from
another can. You can then let the original sit in thinner for a while
and try to clean it with a pin. Most spray cans are designed to clear
out the tip when you turn them upside down.

You might be able to purchase a set of tips at a hardware store...

If it's white glue (PVA adhesive?) then hot water, or hot water/
vinegar mix,
will soften it quickly, and it can be scraped or scrubbed off.

Sandpaper will finish the job after all is dry (but would clog
if you just sandpapered).

He might try some hot water to loosen the glue up enough to remove it.

No answer to specific question; however, two (2) thoughts come to
mind.

1) Patience is a virtue.
2) Next time, use rubber cement.

1. Scrape and/or sand.
2. Clean the tip or swap one from another can.

Btw .. On some woods 3M can leave a sticky residue. I used it on a
project that, after removing the paper and sanding, I had to let it
sit for several days. When I returned to the it, a sticky residue had
surfaced and I had to re-sand it completely again.
