Next question - in ye goode olde days when mounting photographs on card you'd use cow gum, great stuff that really worked well.

I am assuming that there are better products these days - any suggestions?

Thanks

Not much help unless you are in the Netherlands or Belgium, but I use glue from Hema (a Dutch chain of stores) which is especially intended for photos.
I'm sure you can get something similar, either from a photographic shop or craft store wherever you are.

Spraymount (theoretically only temporary) or Photomount.

Both are spray can adhesives and have been on the market for at least 15 years.

Yes I'd go with the spray mount although it's not very healthy stuff unless used in a well ventilated area.

Actually very important to use Photomount for permanent mounting of photographs. Spraymount will result in prints detatching after a short while.

Thank you - I'll make sure I get photomount.
