Home > Consumer Reviews > 3M 568 Positionable Mounting Adhesive, 16 Inches x 50 Feet

I use this mounting adhesive for lots of graphic design mockups and craft projects, and it's my go-to adhesive when I need professional results. It takes a bit of elbow grease, but is more permanent and less smelly than spray adhesives.

I typically use it on items that will be cut down to size after being adhered, because the adhesive tends to get messy around the edges.

As a graphic design graduate student, I spent my first year turning my balcony into a little spray mounting hut. I then remembered this product that I had used at one of my previous employers. It certainly saved the day as I prepared for candidacy review. I order two rolls unsure of how much I would need. I have composed approximately twenty-five 15"x 30" boards and still have not run out of the first roll.

Make sure that you purchase the Mounting Adhesive that is permanent once pressure is applied. 3M sells an alternative that is ALWAYS positionable. This product is not despite its name - it is just easier to maneuver than the spray mount alternative, but once it is in place and you have applied pressure with either a roller or the included squeegee it is not going to go anywhere.

I use this instead of spray adhesive to mount all my design projects. It's glorious.
