What do I use to glue the back of finished puzzle and frame it?

fat_little_thing: What do I use to glue the back of finished puzzle and frame it?
I know some people just glue the back of the finished puzzle and somehow hang it up but I want to glue the back of the finish puzzle so that it doesn’t fall apart and THEN put it in a clear frame. I already got the frame but I wasn’t sure what to use to glue the back together. Do I HAVE to glue the finished puzzle onto a piece of cardboard or can I just glue the back together somehow and put it in a frame?

or you can do this over the front using puzzle glue

Mod Podge. You can coat the front and/or back, and it fills in the spaces….use thin coats. It comes in matte and gloss, so you can choose the finish, and it dries very quickly. Use a sponge brush to avoid brush marks, and try to keep it from flexing unless you do multiple coats on both sides.

Alternatively, you could brush white glue evenly over the entire back of the puzzle, press a piece of mat board onto it, flip it over and put a weight on it, to keep it tight to the board. Then you can just trim the mat board to fit your frame when it is dry, and the only glue is on the back.

My uncle used to use Contact (glue backed vinyl coated paper)
Pressing it very carefully onto the back of the assembled puzzle, rubbing it all over carefully so every piece adhered well. Some of his mounted have lasted well over 30 years, in good condition.

There is also a spray invisible puzzle glue.
That’s a neat idea to put it in a clear frame.

They make special glue called puzzle saver. Or just use plain old diluted elmers glue.
