Applications: When gluing large areas it is often difficult
to evenly distribute the adhesive everywhere before it has already begun to dry.
This problem can be gotten around by using a spray glue. When evenly and thinly
sprayed, it will form a coat of adhesive which will not bleed through or make
paper wavy. Spray glue can be used on numerous materials: paper and cardboard, a
wide variety of plastics and plastic foams (glued to themselves or on wood and
metal). Typical areas of use for spray glue include mounting drawings, placards,
photographs, maps and the like on solid backgrounds. Examples of substrates
abound: KAPA boards, honeycomb board, thick cardboards, basic corrugated boards,
Forex boards, etc.
Treatment: When mounting on smaller surfaces it is not the
substrate that receives the even coat of glue but rather the object that is to
be mounted. After the glue has been applied, mounting should begin on one of the
short sides and the rest carefully stretched out and pressed into place. This
pressing should always be done from the middle outwards as much as possible so
as to avoid small bubbles forming. After that is completed, a PRESSURE ROLLER or
a FELT SQUEEGEE-TYPE APPLICATOR should be employed for further flattening
purposes. If, for example, you plan to glue-mount a large number of ink-jet
prints on presentation boards, it is helpful to have many separate underlayers
on hand because as you spray the backside of a print there will always be some
overspray on the underlayer upon which you will then not be able to lay the next
print.
