Discussion > Gluing paper siding to balsa

I'm building a balsa structure which I want to side with Clever brick paper. What adhesive should I use? I'm thinking 3M77 contact spray adhesive.
Thanks,

Tom, The 3M product should work. be sure to spray both the wood and the paper evenly. It would be even better in the wood is primed so it's less porous.

re the use of spray adhesives, it appears that over the course of several years, the active ingredients in spray adhesives
disolve, and you wind up with seperation of the material, especially in micro climates ranging from one extreme to another,
you would be better off in the long run, to use acc, or "aileen"s" super tacky glue (or something similar)
