I am over matting pictures and I was wondering what I could use to keep the boards together? I am using adhesive spray but the boards don't seem to want to stick. Just wanted to know if there were any sprays or glues I could use to fasten mounting boards together?

If the items you're matting are of any value you should be using archivallinen tape and hinging the mats. If not, double sided adhesive works great. Just peel and stick it to one side, remove the liner then press the boards together. You can get the stuff at most art stores.

never use spray adhesive....use what is called linen tape and you gallery hinge it at the top..that is just a couple of pieces of linen tape connecting the two boards at the top...
please do not use adhesive tape.....also use photo corners to mount the photo on the board...don't dry mount

Try double-sided tape.
Remember, if what you are framing is important or valuable, use acid free materiels.
