acrylic spray fixative anyone ? ? ? (for sideart?)
Frostillicus:
The clear contact paper is a good idea. Though might take some doing to find some oversize ...uh sizes :)
I'd steer clear of spray adhesive - depending on what type of paper it's printed on it might actually soak in a little causing dark spots. That's just a limitation of the adhesive/paper combination, and is the one sucky thing about using a fixative. Usually when mounting stuff with fixative, you spray the surface of both things, let them dry, and then you can position it 'relatively' easily. When you press them together they are bonded.

bah ! :(
Just bought some clear contact paper...I know I will mess it up if I use this.
Bare contact paper is crap :P (juuust my opinion)
meh...I already cut the glasse for the sides anyways so I wont be using clear contact paper.

Not really - I am saving for other parts (like a better computer). But when i do print it out I think I'll go to a local shop - not Kinko's. I was pretty dissapointed with their printing of my marquee. Really washed out.
I'll just print them out at work on 11x17 (nice huge color laser) and piece them together temporarily. But I have no idea how I'll affix it - maybe 2 way tape? ???
