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.



what about 3M Spray Mount ... made exactly for the job of mounting photos
etc onto card.
