When I used spray adhesive on a paper pattern onto a piece of pine wood - when I took the paper off, it left a residue.
What do you guys use as a spray adhesive that might not leave a residue - or - what would you use to remove the residue without affecting the wood?

MY guess would be to try mineral spirits or turpentine or possibly even acetone. Check the manufacturer's label for clean up suggestions.

try denatured alcohol

I used it with success after doing a rocking horse project with The Wood Whisperer. Just don't drink it:D

I lightly use a glue stick... after sanding I've never noticed any thing.
I prefer the chepo brand Wexford, from Wallgreen's not Elmers.
Both labels say washable.

'Why' do you think it is 'denatured'.

I'm a fan of paint stripper. Will remove anything and I'm referring to the non enviro friendly version. The enviro friendly version couldn't strip a porn star.

A tip for the next time you try the spray-on adhesive.... Spray it on your paper, then set it aside or just hold on to it for a minute or two. Let it dry until it's just tacky, like the adhesive strip on a Post-It note. Then stick it to your piece of wood. It will peel off a lot easier and shouldn't leave much residue.

I've had a great deal of success removing paint with Citri-Strip.

Haven't tried the citru strip. Tried something else that managed to just sit there and look glossy.
I cleaned a few of the sanding disks of some 30-50 year old debris by using stripper, but it was as hazardous of stuff as I could get. This followed the "Kim kardashian" version I referenced above.
