Spray Adhesive for sticking plans to forms?

All:

I'm just about ready to start cutting out my forms. So as a test, I used some spray adhesive to stick the paper to the plywood. I let it dry, but when I went to cut out the form, the paper kept bunching up, ripping, shredding, etc...basically it was a terrible mess, and there is no way I will be able to follow the lines. The spray adhesive I used was made by Elmer's (but I don't think it's the same as the white glue stuff, at least it smells different), and it seemed to stick the forms on well, but I was still able to peel them off a day later.

Any suggestions on a better adhesive?

I forgot to mention, I don't have access to a bandsaw, so I'm using a hand held jig-saw (black & decker), which is probably making the problem worse.

Thanks in advance.

Forget the spray, try rubber cement
