Picture disc

[msartori]

Hi,
To glue the two 1-millimeter transparent discs for the picture discs, do you use spray glue or double-sided tape?
Because spray glue makes a mess...

Thanks for help

We used to use 3M or Cleopatre spray glue when making ours, we found some sprays better than others for sure. Here are some examples of ones we made www.instagram.com/p/Cs3gAJFsYPm/?img_index=1

Hi! For picture discs, most people recommend using a thin layer of clear double-sided adhesive film instead of spray glue — it gives a cleaner, more even bond without the mess or warping. Some also use pressure-sensitive adhesive sheets that are specifically made for laminating. Just make sure to press everything evenly to avoid bubbles. Hope this helps!

Good to know! Picture discs certainly aren't our speciality Do you have links to one's you recommend?

i have also used 3M spray glue and never had any issues with bubbles or warps.

but i usually just made 1 sided post card picture disc

what i usually do is cut the or emboss the music on the clear plastic im using and then print the image out on card stock paper.

I then spray the paper with the image with the 3M spray glue and place the record that has the music onto the paper with the glue.

in the past i've tried picture discs with 2 blanks and paper between them with 3M spray glue. after some period of time when you bend the record both parts split. since then i started with double side foil, you may break on of the sides but wont be able to separate them. to get rid of the bubbles i use laminator

Anyone fancy sharing some actual names of specific spray glues or adhesive film they have had good results with as everything I have tried so far has issues

Spray glue = mess and sometimes reacts with the disc or the printed material

adhesive film - Have tried multiple samples from an adhesive film supplier all of which has a mottled / crazed effect to it - supplier suggest optically clear film but still looking into that as they dont supply it so need to find another supplier

I really dont want to go down the route of spray glue due to mess and fumes but if its the only option then ill have to give it a go - also would prefer the adhesive film route as it tends not to dry out and crack over time causing the plates to become unstuck as mentioned above

We second this, it would be much more helpful if people give specific brands and types that are already tested.
