Thanks Guys!
Double side tape definitly seem to be the trick. I have used this for sanding and flattening horn already.
But I found it annoying to have to remove the tape again from the template - but maybe I used too sticky tape.
What I also didnt't like about this tape-trick was the fact/risk, that the tape with its glue comntaminates my glueing surfaces.
Do you all clean the wedges after sanding somehow to remove leftovers from the tape glue?
Thanks
Simon

Mine is I glue the 120 grit to the template with the double side tape :thumbsup:
All my sleds have 120 grit on them

Cut mine on the table saw with this jig I made that rides the miter slot. I start off with 3/8” parallel stock and this jig pretty much does perfect cuts with a little sanding at the parallel to taper transition.
