sticking paper to plastic
Hello
I am trying to paste a colour photocopy on to a thin plastic sheet (about 1mm thick) using a water-based glue. The paper is standard photocopy paper. When the paper dries it causes the sheet to warp. I have tried soaking the paper and drying it before pasting but this doesn't seem to work either. I am going to try a solvent spray adhesive next which I have a feeling may be OK but I'm worried that over time that even that may distort as well through the paper taking in water from the air. Is there any way to get around this problem so as to prevent distortion after the paper dries? Ultimately I want to use a water-based glue for several reasons. Any advice on an economical water based glue to stick paper to plastic would also be very welcome. Many thanks Nick |

Many thanks Nick don,t know of a glue, but, if the project is a one off have you thought about laminating it. Paula. |
