Finally getting back to working on my beloved "Henley." I will be using these back boards to create
a scaffold to drape the plastic over when not in use. Dust is a major issue in El Paso. Question is,
what is the best way to affix the print upon the board? I did this once before using a wash of white glue
and water and it wrinkled badly. Thank you, in advance.

Would double sided tape be the answer?

I’ve just done my two boards with double sided tape. Very easy and no wrinkles. R-

Thinned wallpaper paste, care and a SLIGHTLY damp sponge should do it - but don't rub too hard or else the surface will damage. If yr good at decorating its no prob, if not, it is, if you see what I mean!

Double sided tape. I used the wide carpet tape.

I’m pretty good at decorating and used wallpaper paste..........disaster. Next time it’s double sided tape.

I used spray adhesive for mine (available from art shops).
You need to do it in a well ventilated area and take care not to get any kinks etc. as you can't really reposition it once you have laid it.

Well, I ended up dribbling a little white glue on the back board, and the results look pretty good, thanks all.
