Glue Mounting a Print In a Hot Climate

[Simon J.A. Simpson]

I want to stick wooden battens along the rear of the long sides (top and bottom) of a 1.2m panorama prior to hanging.  This is to give them some stiffness.

The paper I have used is a (resin coated, I assume) premium lustre paper.

They will be hung on a wall in a hot climate.

Does anyone have any recommendations for the kind of glue that would be best to use ?

Many thanks

I wouldn't do that.
Print it on canvas and mount to gatorboard with Miracle Muck. Attach a proper hanger on the back of the gator and hang it on the wall.
A professional installation that will last a long, long time.
I would expect the paper print to wrinkle and do all kinds of crazy things.

Hi Dan.

Good point.  The prints are already with my wife who, bless her, wants to hang them the wall of our house in Turkey.

Since you already have the print a nice inexpensive frame is really affordable.
Do it right the first time and you will not have to do it again.
