Pity Stephanie,
You've missed a lively discussion on the subject.
Anyway, most people have good experience with 3M 80808 spray adhesive,
although I was not so happy with it.
For the rest: I'll forward some mails abpout hte subject I have retained so
long.
About the layout: I have had good help from the Vicky Brit catalogue and the
Moss catalogue.
Cheers,
Hans Duinhoven
