how to stick photos to card?

[mastertrinity]

just wondering but recently I bought myself a hardbacked sketchbook and thought it would be a nice idea to stick photos in there along with all my graphics and other artwork I've done. I've tried tape, mounting squares, photo corners and even double sided tape but none of this has worked. I was wondering if pva glue or perhaps even better the spraymount glue you can get from craft shops would work?

Photo mount its spray glue get it from staples or office supply type shops

Well that's what I use. Oh its not cheap 17 pound a tin

Blue glue is brilliant

I have always used PVA glue in the past, but only put the smallest amount on, it's strong stuff, and too much will cockle the photo paper.

£17?!?!?! bloody hell what's the stuff I've seen made by 3M, it's called spraymount and costs like £6 a can, is that any good?

Yeah that's what put me off with glue in the past 'cause I always seemed to get the weird bumpy paper afterwards, I might get some and just do small amounts like you say with an old business card or something to apply it

That's a good price for spraymount. That should work, I've used it for putting photos on a mount. If you're using it a small roller can help to make sure you get it well smoothed down with no air bubbles (put something over the photo to stop it getting marked by the roller.)
