Travis Posted July 1, 2009 Report Share Posted July 1, 2009 Are you looking for mounting ideas to get your picture attached to the wood? I use spray adhesive on both the wood and picture and attach them immediately. I use an old credit card to really press in the picture and remove any air bubbles. Each spray adhesive is a bit different, so I'd read on the back for the best way to get a permanent bond. Carter Johnson uses regular glue, but I find it bubbles the picture. But it works well for him. I've also seen a lady on YouTube who uses clear polycrilic. She puts on a coat, attaches the pic, then puts another coat. I tried that and my picture curled, but I do like the idea behind it. I'll probably play with it a bit more in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluelucky Posted July 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2009 Travis , thanks for that info, I was also wandering if you put a finish on them or not? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travis Posted July 4, 2009 Report Share Posted July 4, 2009 Ahhh...I goch-cha. I misread your post. You can add a finish before you begin cutting if you want. I don't think most people do, though. If you're doing photos and calenders, I wouldn't worry too much about it. They're sturdy enough without the finish and hold up well with use. That's my approach anyway.
