I agree with Bill, put up your styrene first then glue on. Secondly, you don't want "excellent" glue. By that, I mean you want to have a little time before the glue sets, because I can promise you "adjustment" time is necessary. I was going to use a quick spray glue and was moved over to modge podge - for the glue on the back it doesn't matter if matte or glossy. <br /> <br />Also, after your commercial stuff is up, hit with a paper fixative spray(available from Michael's) then a matte finish spray. Why? Well when the hydrocal, or ballast glue, or whatever gets slopped on to your wonderful backdrop, it won't get damaged. The reason you want a matte overlay over the fixative is to reduce the shine for photos. <br /> <br />Modge Podge (available at Michael's, Walmart, home depot) is a bit slower drying than many glues. It is what people use for decopage.
