I'm looking for alternatives to waxed paper for keeping my cabinet saw clean during glue-ups. I usually use waxed paper to protect the surface from glue spills, but it can get pricey, especially since I try to reuse it. I've considered rosin paper from home improvement stores, but I'm not sure if it's really non-porous to glue. Does anyone have suggestions for other products that work well?

Silicone baking sheets are a great option! You can find them in various sizes on Amazon, and they’re reusable. Some even come with grid lines which can help with alignment during projects.

How about using a piece of vinyl sheet flooring? Once the glue dries, it comes off effortlessly. Plus, you can roll it up and store it away easily.

Plastic sheeting works too! It's easy to clean and you can get it in large rolls.
