AI pick (line): 3M Spray Mount Artist's Adhesive

It is the standard repositionable spray for paper, photos and artwork, with a fine even mist that lets you adjust placement before it sets.

Not for: Heavy, porous or load-bearing bonds such as foam, wood or upholstery.

Odif 505 Spray and Fix (line)

It is a temporary fabric adhesive that holds quilt layers and appliqué for sewing without pins and doesn't gum the needle.

Not for: Anyone who needs a permanent bond.

3M Foam Fast 74 Spray Adhesive (line)

Its web-pattern spray is formulated for bonding foam and fabric without soaking in.

Not for: Thin paper and photo work.

Gorilla Heavy Duty Spray Adhesive (line)

It gives a strong permanent bond for wood, metal, plastic and heavier craft materials.

Not for: Repositionable layout work or delicate paper.

Spray pattern: Use a fine mist for paper and photos. Use a web or lace pattern for foam, fabric and porous materials. A fine mist avoids bleed-through on thin stock, and a web pattern sits on porous surfaces instead of soaking in.
Tack time: Follow the label's flash time before joining surfaces. Coat both surfaces when you need a permanent contact bond. Joining too early gives weak bonds and soak-through.
Polystyrene safety: Use only sprays labeled safe for polystyrene foam. Common solvent sprays dissolve it.
Ventilation and VOCs: Spray outdoors or in a spray booth, and mask the surrounding area. Overspray drifts and coats nearby surfaces, and the fumes are strong.

Spraying near unmasked surfaces, since overspray is hard to remove
Using permanent spray on fabric you plan to wash without checking the label
Letting the nozzle clog, which you can prevent by inverting the can and spraying until clear after each use

Turn the can upside down after use and spray briefly until only propellant comes out.
