I’m trying to mount a large map which my customer wants to use as a pin board showing where he has been, I’m using ‘Sundaela’ board, popular for notice boards but am having difficulty mounting the map. It has a glossy finish, I’ve tried spray mount, then spray carpet adhesive both without success, we’ve had to buy another map as a result. Any ideas how best to mount it please.

Would it work mounted to self adhesive foamboard? If you don't have a roller-press to apply even pressure on the foamboard then it can be done by hand with a brayer rubber roller. Mount it to standard self adhesive board first, like Arqadia fast-mount, and you can apply a fair amount of pressure with a hand roller and then glue the mounted map and board to foam-board with wet glue.

Hope you don't mind me moving this topic to the help section....

Good advice from David thats the way to do it

foamboard would be my choice too, actually I done one about 2 weeks ago. I wasn't sure that the pins would stay in but they held without issue
