Nobody wants that! Instead, here are a few tips that can help you prevent an expensive or irreversible adhesive mistake.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Photo Mounting Adhesive\u003C/h2>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>The most common place to use adhesive in picture framing is attaching the photo to the mount board or mat board, depending on the method you choose. There are many different \u003Ca href=\"https://www.framedestination.com/info/picture-frame-mounting.html\">photo mounting techniques\u003C/a>, each using a different type of adhesive: \u003Ca href=\"https://www.framedestination.com/ctg/framing-accessories/photo-mounting-supplies/hinging-tape-tissue.html\">hinging tape or tissue\u003C/a>, spray adhesive, and wheat or rice starch paste.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Hinging Tape and Tissue\u003C/h3>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Hinging tape can serve two purposes: it can be used to mount your photo to a mat board and to hinge the mat to the mount board. Hinging tape is thicker than hinging tissue, the latter of which is a transparent, thinner version that is used on translucent or lightweight artwork. These often use either a pressure-sensitive or water-activated adhesive.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>\u003Ca href=\"https://www.framedestination.com/prod/c/self-adhesive-linen-hinging-tape.html\">Lineco’s Self-Adhesive Hinging Tape\u003C/a>, \u003Ca href=\"https://www.framedestination.com/prod/s/1-1-2-lineco-tyvek-tape-150-ft.html\">Tyvek Tape\u003C/a>, and \u003Ca href=\"https://www.framedestination.com/prod/c/self-adhesive-hinging-tissue.html\">Self-Adhesive Hinging Tissue\u003C/a> all use a pressure-sensitive acrylic adhesive that is considered archival quality. \u003Ca href=\"https://www.framedestination.com/prod/s/gummed-linen-hinging-tape.html\">Lineco’s Gummed Linen Hinging Tape\u003C/a> and \u003Ca href=\"https://www.framedestination.com/prod/s/gummed-paper-hinging-tape.html\">Gummed Paper Hinging Tape\u003C/a>, which are made for heavier prints and artwork, both use a water-activated adhesive made with carbohydrate and protein, which features a neutral pH and is deemed safe for photos.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Personally, Lineco’s Self-Adhesive Linen Hinging Tape is my favorite when framing prints. It is quick and easy, as it’s a pressure sensitive tape, and I use it for both hinging the mat to the backing and hinging the print. For museum-grade framing or when mounting artwork on very thin paper, the Hinging Tissue should be used instead of Hinging Tape to hinge the artwork.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Most household pressure-sensitive tapes, such as office tape, masking tape and duct tape, should never be used in picture framing. The adhesives used in these products vary but can contain synthetic or natural rubber; rubber-based adhesives can become yellow, oily and sticky as they age, damaging the artwork to which it is attached. Acrylic adhesives, on the other hand, are much more stable over time and do not significantly discolor.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Starch-Based Adhesives\u003C/h3>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Some of the oldest types of adhesives — used by \u003Ca href=\"https://www.metmuseum.org/toah/hd/pyma/hd_pyma.htm\">ancient Egyptians to bind papyrus\u003C/a> — are starch-based pastes, which are made by cooking either rice or wheat. Starch adhesives are often used with special Japanese paper in conservation framing; the \u003Ca href=\"https://www.framedestination.com/prod/s/museum-mounting-kit.html\">Lineco Museum Mounting Kit\u003C/a> contains wheat starch adhesive, Japanese mulberry paper and linen cloth hinging tape.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>The benefits to using starch adhesives are that it is reversible, meaning the artwork can be removed from the mount or mat board, and it is considered safe to use in preservation framing. On the downside, starch adhesives are weaker than acrylic or rubber adhesives and shouldn’t be used with heavy artwork. They also may be a little fussier to use, especially for someone who does not mount a lot of photos — but the sophistication of the end result may be worth it.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Other photo mounting techniques to be used in conservation-style framing are non-adhesive techniques. With these methods, you use \u003Ca href=\"https://www.framedestination.com/ctg/framing-accessories/photo-mounting-supplies/photo-corners-strips.html\">photo corners and strips\u003C/a>, whose adhesives never come in contact with the artwork.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Dust Cover Adhesives\u003C/h2>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>In \u003Ca href=\"https://www.framedestination.com/blog/resources/how-to-attach-a-dust-cover-to-a-picture-frame\">How to Attach a Dust Cover to a Picture Frame\u003C/a>, two types of adhesives were discussed: ATG tape and liquid PVA glue.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Adhesive Transfer Tape\u003C/h3>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>ATG tape, also called adhesive transfer tape, uses a special gun to apply a thin layer of adhesive. The three Scotch® adhesive transfer tapes carried by Frame Destination — including \u003Ca href=\"https://www.framedestination.com/prod/c/scotch-908-gold-adhesive-transfer-tape.html\">Gold 908\u003C/a>, \u003Ca href=\"https://www.framedestination.com/prod/c/scotch-924-adhesive-transfer-tape.html\">924\u003C/a> and \u003Ca href=\"https://www.framedestination.com/prod/c/scotch-969-adhesive-heavy-duty-transfer-tape.html\">969\u003C/a> — use a pressure-sensitive acrylic adhesive. Scotch Gold 908 is acid-free, but none of the adhesive transfer trapes should be used in direct contact with artwork.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Polyvinyl Acetate (PVA)\u003C/h3>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>PVA glue is a versatile adhesive used in all types of projects, not just picture framing. Also called wood glue, school glue (Elmer’s Glue, known all across the U.S., is a type of PVA glue) and white glue due to its color before drying, liquid PVA (if formulated for use in conservation projects) can be used to attach dust covers, attach items in a shadow box and in scrapbooking. \u003Ca href=\"https://www.framedestination.com/prod/s/lineco-white-ph-neutral-adhesive.html\">Lineco’s archival adhesive\u003C/a> is one such PVA glue, and it is safe to use in framing projects.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Summing Up Adhesives\u003C/h2>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>The right adhesives play an important role in picture framing. They can help you avoid damaging your art and preserve it for years to come. Whether it’s a photo-safe liquid glue or a roll of ATG tape, professional and amateur framers alike have their favorite adhesives when framing their art, each ideal for a specific purpose.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>For a deeper dive into the world of adhesives and mounting, check out the \u003Ca href=\"https://www.framedestination.com/prod/s/mounting-and-laminating-handbook-by-chris-paschke.html\">\"Mounting and Laminating Handbook\"\u003C/a> by Chris Paschke, sold right her on our website.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>\u003Cstrong>Do you have your own favorite picture framing adhesive?
