I have a largish photo print that has warped/rippled in the frame. I was thinking of getting another piece of mount board and gluing the photo to the board and the re-mounting it.

Is there a special photo glue or will any spray on glue suffice?
 
Spray mount is repositionable (read temporary).

3M also do Photo Mount (in a red can as opposed to Spray Mount's blue). Both are offensively expensive but you must avoid the generic ones as they in my experience they splutter out the can and ruin the face of your image, then they clog their nozzles before finally refusing to work three weeks later when you're right up against it... Meh.
 
I've used 3M's photomount on numerous occasions without any problems...choice was based purely on the fact that I could get hold of it free though.

Thanks all, bought some today.
 
The situation was I had a photo delivered (A2) in a tube and it was taken out and re rolled and then replaced back in the tube a few times. The photo was then mounted in a frame.

The photo was secured to the mount with tape but because the photo was re rolled several times the warping effect could be seen in certain light in the frame.

So I'm going to stick the photo to the new mount board and then place that and the cut out front mount back in the frame.

Hope that makes sense.

ps, I even tried ironing it! :lol:
 
The reason I was asking, I was given hands on tuition by the local framer. He only tapes the photo in place along the top edge. Since I started doing the same, no more warping...happened loads previous to this technique.
