Hi folks,
Some years SWMBO bought a couple of sets of place-mats from Trago Mills in Cornwall. Considering the time we have been using them they have served well for what they cost.
I have some sheet cork lying around, and I had the idea of making some replacements from 4mm MDF, and using some of my own photographs, touched up in Photoshop, as a topside decoration.
The only problem is finish. I know these things are usually printed onto the mats, but I don't think MDF will go around my platen. :roll:
So, does anyone know anything about gluing photographs to board please? And of course, a finish I can apply afterwards. Obviously, I need something that will protect the images from heat and spillage, etc. Or is it a stupid idea to begin with?
Cheers
John
