Adhesive Question

Psylariser · 06-October-04, 02:02 PM

I'm looking for some sort of adhesive to stick a clear transparency sheet to a piece of plastic with no visible signs of the adhesive. The transparency will be stuck flat to the plastic piece. I'm at a loss for what I can use to do this, and any help would be appreciated.

I have used this in the past, but on a clear mylar, spraying this tends to give the impression of frosted glass. So it is not 100% what you are looking for, but it's the best that I can suggest and it is very easliy availble at art supply stores.

The only transparent, colourless adhesive I can think of is Humbrol "Clearfix" - it's specifically made for use in minute quantities for sticking in windows in plastic kits, so bog knows whether it'd work on what you've got in mind.

Any chance I could find that any where locally?

You could try to sandwich it between two pieces of plastic and maybe just glue the egdes if need be. That might help protect the transparency as well.

If you go to a drafting store or kinkos (they use to have it been a while since i have been there) get what is called sticky back they might call it something else.The reason im directing you this direction is its a clear assitate (mispelled more than likely) that is clear that drafters,interior designers,landscape arch. ect..... use in presentions sticky on one side to press onto any surface. Its able to go through any copy machine color or black and white, its used so they dont have to keep drawing the same logos over and over.Cut and paste

You can get sticky transparency paper, so no glue is needed. Maybe u can scan it in and re-print it on the stick paper. As for glue, dont use elmers
