PVA glue would also probably be fine?

Cut mdf to size of photo.

Spray with clear polyurethane (to act as a glue).

Set photo in place.

When dry plane/ ralta to get the edge/border you want.

Nugget the edge/border if you want the frame look.

Spray a top coat of polyurethane.

leave to dry for 24hrs

Thank you.

You could try to find this (www.avery.co.uk) at warehouse stationary.

The major problem with both of these is that they are water based. The advantage with rubber cement is that it doesn't get absorbed into the paper -- it works on the surface only.

Anyway, you were going to practice on things which don't matter, anyway. Weren't you? :D

410539 2006-07-20 04:52:00 I imagine that they are not only glued on but covered with a laquer, or varnish as well to protect them and harden the surface netchicken (4843)

Correct . If you can spread rubber cement evenly and thinly, it should work .

For large photos try 3M Super 77 Multipurpose Adhesive, see here . ( . dickblick . com/zz237/06a/#photos" target="_blank">www . dickblick . com)
I bought this at the Warehouse Stationary recently, for mounting A3 size photos . It was kept locked up, not on the shelf, presumably to stop glue sniffers pinching the product .
