To use rubber cement or an aerosol rubber cement, use this table:
Step
Action
1
Cut out the artwork to correct size.
2
Use a nonreproducing blue pencil to lightly mark the position of
the artwork on the mounting board.
3
Apply rubber cement or spray adhesive to the face of the mounting
board within the area defined by the pencil marks and the back of
the artwork.
4
5
Allow the cement to dry.
Place a slip sheet of paper or tracing paper over the cement covered
surface of the mounting board leaving approximately 1/4-inch
exposed at the top. Use two slip sheets when mounting large
pieces and slide them out from the center.
6
Position the artwork face up and firmly press against the top (or
center).
7
Slowly slide the slip sheet out of the way while smoothing the
artwork against the mounting board. Smooth from the center of the
artwork to the edges.
8
Place a clean paper or tracing paper over the image and continue to
burnish the image into place with an agate burnisher or rubber
roller until it is secure.
9
Use a rubber cement pick-up (crepe laytex) to remove excess
cement and cement residue.
