Question

how do i attach paper to metal?

Answer 1

Depends on the reason for putting the paper on the metal in the first place. Is it a permanent thing, a design you need to scratch on. Also the metal being used may need to be taken into account. Good Luck! Make question a bit more specific next time.

Answer 2

I would agree with scuffing the metal first with a bit of fine grit sandpaper.



Spray adhesive should work well. I use 3M super-77 which is a fine all-purpose high-tack spray adhesive. I have glued various papers to metal with very good results.



Be wary of using epoxies, as they may discolor the paper badly.



If the metal can rust (iron or steel) I would recommend putting down a layer of clear coat lacuqer first. Let it dry, and then use the spray adhesive to prevent any rust from discoloring the paper at a later date.

Answer 3

Any type of tape or glue could do the trick. You might be a little creative and place it on a post in the metal. Do what it takes, try different things, you'll find a way that works for your purpose.
