Thread: A football/beer-related Arts-N-Crafts project question:

Tweet

Building a beer pong table. It's gonna be an 8ft 1/50th exact scale replica of an NFL football field. Used pinstriping tape for all the yard lines. Painted the 6-ft white out-of-bounds region, all the hash marks, the cross for the kickoff, everything. Now, I'm taking the guys' two favorite teams, and printing their logos for each endzone. Kinda SuperBowl style layout. NFL shield at the 50 yard line, and the AFC and NFC logos at each 25 yard line.

Question is.... how would YOU glue them down? I printed them up at Kinko's using their color laser printers, on really nice paper. That way, once they're glued down, I can clearcoat over everything and seal them all up to protect from spilled beer. So I've been tossing around a few ideas like getting wallpaper glue, 3M Super 77 spray adhesive, regular ol' Elmers glue watered down a bit, epoxy resin, all kinds of ideas.

I don't want the paper to ripple once I stick it down and rub it in. So gimme some good ideas.

Of course, photos will come, after we've done all the work and shot all the pics. Cool thing is, one of the guys is a photographer, and he's taking some awesome shots! Closeups, long range, crazy angles, it's fun to watch him work!

Is the paper pourus? Or is it a slick coated type?

I would go to a crafts store and see if you can get any information on a process called decoupage, http://http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decoupage

Hope this helps, sounds like a cool project!!

Spray Trim Adhesive might work.
