I have not so far been particularly keen on spray can adhesives, maybe I should consider using them if it will save me time and labour. I am actually thining about lining the spacers in deep box frames and most likely facing spacers with mountboard using a Teesa spray adhesive to attach the strips of mountboard. I have never used this method myself until now and was wondering if anyone can provide any feedback about how well this works. I normally handfinish the spacers, using paint, but maybe spray adhesive and mountboard might save time!
Thanks,
Mark.

Re: Using spray can adhesives.
I'd consider getting a roll of adhesive from someone like Drytac. They do either self wound (like a roll of tape), or ones with silicon release on both sides. Cut off the desired size, and then apply to the mountboard with a squeegee, prior to cutting it down.
No sticky flying glue waiting to contaminate things. Two faced rolls seem to have a good shelf life, and it is often useful to hold things in place on a temporary basis.

Re: Using spray can adhesives.
After a lot of thinking about this, I has decided that using spray adhesives for what I had in mind is not going to be as practical as I was hoping, but thanks for your suggestions.
