Hi!

Has anyone done any wallpapering to finish their stompboxes? I was thinking of using pages from a book or magazine and was wondering if anyone has any tips they could offer.

Thanks for your help!

I did it once on a desk made of Formica/Arborite. I glued newspaper on it with paper glue and then varnished it. It turns out to be farly nice looking and quite resistant... But I don't know what glue might be good for aluminium enclosure.*

Thanks lolbou! I think I am going to try it and see how it turns out.

I did a little research and it seams that a likely good glue would be 3M 77. It can apparently be picked up at art stores. If anybody has any experience using it, any suggestions/tips are appreciated. I will try to pick a can of it up soon.

Thanks for all your help!
