I've been tasked with mounting a paper map (1000x1410mm) on a backer

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?


Wallpaper paste.Â* Wallpaper brush.


But make sure when pasting the board it doesn't lead to discolouration
of the paste - or else it will bleed through to the surface of the map.

You may have to seal the board first

You may have to consider a stronger paste the wall type paste and just
size and only paste the board rather than the paper map. I'm now a fan
of pasting the wall and then putting up dry paper - much easier than
trying to hang a long strip of pasted paper, especially on a ceiling
