fixing tips
Would like to wish everyone a healthy and prosperous 2018.Having purchased some id backscenes a few years ago and fixed them with wall paper paste on to hardboard when finished they looked good unfortunately within a month bubbles and creases started to appear and looked so bad i ripped the lot off and painted in sky blue emulsion.With hindsight i think i applied to much paste. :roll:
Having seen some of the results other people have achieved using id backscenes i am considering having another go but this time using the self adhesive ones, i believe you have the option of leaving the backing paper on and using a spray adhesive like 3M .
Can anyone give me any advice on the best method for fixing these as im desperate to get it right this time.

I hate the stuff. A very light coat is sufficient. And you normally only get one chance at. Lay it on a slighter larger base, that way you can concentrate on making sure there are no bubbles (use a small paint roller as you unroll it onto the board), rather than making sure it's dead square.Then again, I don't need back-scenes as such as I have 2-sided operations and viewing. Back-ends is about it.
Which 3M product are you contemplating? #77 is the most common, and it has a reasonable tack time (1-15 minutes) that allows re-positioning. John (Brossard) uses Krylon (as do I), which is archival quality and has quite a long tack time compared to the 3M products.
