Default What adhesive for mounting a large map?

I've been tasked with mounting a paper map (1000x1410mm) on a backer
(probably ply or MDF), then to add some sort of surround to prettify it
and then to hang it on a wall. Getting a large sheet of paper stuck-down
wrinkle-free and in the right place needs a bit of planning so what
adhesives and techniques do the team suggest?


Last time I did that I used wallpaper paste. Making sure of course that
I let it soak in, and taking care not to stretch it. Have you checked
though whether you can get a suitable "sandwich" type with
polycarbonate, hardboard, and a few clips.
