I want to print out a few sheets of brick pattern on my printer and glue it to a wood surface.
What is the best method to glue it?I don't want to wind up with a "wrinkle" effect.Nick

I like 3M Photo-mount adhesive.
I've had good luck with MicroMark's Detail Tack regluing the paper on an old roller coaster toy my wife bought. Both sides had a large sheet of printed paper that had come loose. I spread it on, let it get tacky and smoothed the paper on. Held great, no wrinkles. Its a ;useful product to have around but I would try it with your paper.
Hi Nick
I just use Bostik or UHU blue stick. No mess. Sticks fast.
I print my stuff out on 80 gsm paper with a laser printer.
Here are a few examples . . .
I hope that helps a bit.
Cheers

3m super 77 or Scotch Photo mount both work well.
While I used to use Scotch 77, I was very disappointed with its performance when gluing Bristol Board to green foam to make the streets in my town. It held for a while and then started peeling up at the edges. It's been a real pain in the butt and has been a constant maintenance headache. I'm now using High Strength Scotch 99 spray. It's supposed to be much better. We'll see...
I'm with Max on this one...Glue Stick. No mess and easy to use...and it's fast.
