Hey everyone! I just signed up to ask this question. My project involves putting a collage of photos onto a 1/4" piece of plywood, and I was wondering what glue I should use to place the photos? These were photos printed at an official photo centre, so I don't know if white glue would work or not... What do you think? I've heard of 'decoupage glue', but no where around here sells it.
What size are the photo's?
Spray mount would work fine.

How long do you want the prints to last?

You can always use a mask and proper ventilation for the spray stuff. But neither will help the print's longevity.Originally Posted by Drew Wiley
Three Google hits (so far) for the phrase, "Hey everyone! I just signed up to ask this question." One was at a woodworking forum with the exact same text for the question.
Answer: Just about anything that's sticky will be good enough.

If you were going for longevity then you probably would not be mounting onto plywood in the first-place.

Yeah, I made accounts on other sites posted this because I'm hoping to get the best answer possible. I want the photos to stick to the plywood for as long as possible, as this is a gift I'm making for someone. Another site said 3M spray adhesive, is that a good idea?
Im considering using crazy glue, just a dab in each corner, will that ruin it?
Umm yes. I already responded and said to use spray mount.
Super glue will often leave visible marks on the opposite side of the paper.
