Thanks for the replies guys. Can't find a stockist for the super 77 spray here in the UK :(, I'm looking at nearly £30 to import a can. Anybody tried any of these: Found 1 UK review for this 77, they purchased it thinking it would be the same as the Super 77 but it wasn't and didn't work for them. |

The 3M Spray Mount looks to be your best bet. Super 77 has most of the same qualities as the Spray Mount. ie It will let you reposition it before it dries. The photo mount looks act like super glue. A small trick when applying your spray mount is to stay about 150 mm's (6 inches) above the paper and spray in wide sweeps and releasing the sprayer when you have reached the other side of your artwork and continue the process top to bottom until the paper is coated. It helps to have helping hands to keep the unapplied end elevated until you are ready to apply it to the surface. For good application techniques of the glue start watching video at about 1:26. And when you get your spray adhesive don't be afraid to experiment before you dive right in. |

Wouldn't a photography or frame shop be helpful in figuring out what's available local to you |

(which is supposed to be similar) i would think the spray mount would be your best bet. dont forget, you really just need it to stay in place while you put your glass in place. you arent going to be hanging off it or anything. |
