Artists, book-makers, or wall-papering experts:

Do you have any advice for

1. Mounting methods and/or

2. Minimizing wrinkles

when the task is to glue/mount entire sheets (15x20) of tissue-paper onto wooden panels?

I'm planning on mounting a whole series of recent works on tissue paper onto wood. I've done a handful so far. As you can imagine, with paper so delicate and glues so sticky, things can do really wrong really fast! I know having a second person to help lay the paper down on the glue-covered wood can make a difference, but I'm mostly working alone.

The wrinkles and imperfections aren't terrible or incongruous with the work, but I could use some advice, and would like to keep wrinkling to a minimum. Thanks!

If transferring moisture from the glue to the artwork is not a problem try wallpaper glue. It is forgiving and you can sqeegee out the wrinkles.
