Just bought some nice big maps (some from OS and one from Lidl) and went to
a picture framer to ask how much it would be to have one framed and/or
mounted.

Three figure quote later I am reconsidering my position!

Someone who used to have a picture framing business suggested that one
option would be to glue the map to some hardboard then varnish it.
Nicely DIY :-)

So - any recommendations about glues?

Wallpaper paste is one obvious route.

However when they mount pictures on a card backing they put a sheet of glue
fabric between the picture and the card, then put it into a heated press.

DIY version might be to smooth it gently with a warm iron if I can get a
suitable glue sheet.

I will be consulting my friend Google but any advice gleaned from real world
experience would be most welcome.

I have just been making some Icons (Orthodox Church, not Windows). *I
used 3M Photo mount in an aerosol - mine is 15 years old - but e.g. *

But it works a treat for paper to plywood.

BTW we used some of that, probably equally old, 3M in a spray can
recently and it stuck some white styrofoam to plywood like the
dickens. Why not experiment with that on something not critical. But
getting paper etc. on smoothly first time will probably be critical?
