When using plain styrene, I glue the template to the front. When cutting .060" or even .080" styrene, the openings will never be as accurate at the back of the sheet as at the front, because you’ll never manage to hold the knife at a perfect right angle. After cutting, you’ll have to sand the pieces anyway, so that all traces of the glue will be removed. When using styrene or basswood clapboard sidings or styrene brick sheets, you have to reverse the print out and glue it to the backside.

EDIT: I forgot to mention, spray the adhesive onto the paper and not the styrene!
