Methods of gluing together the puzzle

First of all, you need to decide how to fix the puzzles in the picture so that they do not break up. The simplest option is to glue them together. How to glue puzzles in a picture glue?

Pasting the puzzle on the front side of the

You can glue the puzzles from the front side with glue or tape. Before you begin the process of gluing, you need to clean the picture of dust, hair and other contaminants.

Important! In order not to stain the table with glue, place a tracing paper or baking paper under the bottom.

Pasting the puzzle from the wrong side of the

If you do not want to apply glue on the front side, you can glue it from the wrong side. But here the question arises, how to turn the puzzle face down. To do this:

• If you plan to glue this puzzle in this way, you must first collect it on an easily movable surface. It can be a sheet of fiberboard, plexiglas or a special mat for puzzles. In this case, you will have less problems with turning the puzzle - just cover the assembled mosaic with a durable material, for example, with another sheet of fiberboard and quickly turn the whole structure over to the other side.

Important! If your picture is very large, you can additionally fix the design with adhesive tape or clerical clips.

• You can use food film. In this case, you need to collect the mosaic on a substrate, which in size should be slightly larger than the puzzle itself in the assembled state. When the puzzle is assembled, wrap the whole picture together with the substrate with food film. For certainty, several layers of food film can be made. Then the entire structure should be turned gently turned face down, along the substrate cut through the food film. We turn the edges of the film aside and gently remove the substrate. Now you can glue puzzles, and the food film protects the table from the glue.
• If the mosaic was collected on a table or on the floor, you need to gently move the finished pattern on a dense surface.
• The most optimal way, especially for large paintings - is to glue first with the front, and then - from the wrong side. First glue the front side with glue, wait for it to dry completely. Now turn the mosaic will not be a big deal. Turn over neatly and glue with the wrong side.

Basis for sticking the puzzle

What to glue puzzles to make a picture? The following materials can be used as a basis.

Fibreboard It needs to be cut exactly according to the size of the picture. Trimming the edges after the puzzle is pasted can damage it.

1. Apply a thin layer of PVA adhesive so that no dry spots remain.
2. Remove excess glue immediately so that it does not leak to the front.
3. Place the glued sheet on the inside surface of the assembled puzzle, press and immediately turn it face up.
4. The adhesive that has fallen off after pressing is to be removed with a clean cloth.
5. Allow to dry completely.

Important! Such sheets are optimal for creating large paintings, their surface is smooth, the puzzle is easy to glue, over time, it does not lose sight and does not deteriorate. But along with the pluses there are also disadvantages: these sheets need to be cut with special tools, besides the picture turns out to be quite heavy and requires special fastenings.

Polyfoam

A good alternative to fiberboard can be a thin foam that can be bought in construction stores. This is a lightweight material, which, moreover, is easy to cut. It does not deform from the glue and is not distorted after it dries, since it has a thickness of about 15 mm. But such a thickness is more likely a minus, since for framing a picture the frame will have to look for a rather massive construction that will hide such a thickness.

Ceiling tile

Such tiles come in different thicknesses and sizes. They are easily cut, placed in a thickness in standard frames and are quite affordable:

• For a basis it is necessary to choose a tile without a relief pattern, about 4 mm thick.
• On one tile a puzzle consisting of 500 parts is placed.
• If you have a large drawing, you can glue several tiles together with glue PVA.
• Joints between tiles are best made toothed.
• The puzzle is pasted on the back of the tile.
• After gluing it is necessary to remove excess glue and put the picture under oppression. You can just put the board on top. If this is not done, the design may deform during the drying of the adhesive.

Gauze, tulle

You can make it very simple:

1. Treat with glue a regular piece of gauze or tulle of the appropriate size and attach to the mosaic.
2. Surplus adhesive should be removed immediately with a cloth or cloth.
3. After the glue has dried, it is possible to apply one more layer over the top to fix the result.
4. The remaining edges of the gauze can be cut or used for tensioning on a frame or other surface.

Important! With this method, it is recommended to glue the puzzle from the front side, otherwise - the design will be fragile.

Adhesive or self-adhesive film

It is sold in rolls of different widths. The surface must be dry and clean without dust. The film size should be a couple of millimeters smaller than the size of the mosaic.

Next:

1. Cut off the desired piece of film.
2. Separate the paper from the film by about 5 cm.
3. Attach the self-adhesive film to the surface and glue the separated edge.
4. Then slowly and gently pull the paper from the remaining part.
5. The other hand needs to smooth the film. You can use a towel, you can do it with your hands - as you like.

Important! To avoid bubbles, it is necessary to iron from the center to the edges. If bubbles have appeared, pierce them with a needle.

Step Puzzle
