Re: what kind of adhesive
When I worked as a paste up artist, almost all of us used Spraymount adhesive. Great in the fact that it can be repositioned but not so good on your lungs unless you have an extractor. Previous to Spraymount was CowGum which is spread on thinly, both sides, positioned, then cleaned up using a rubber made from the excess gum and resembling a giant bogey. I'm not even sure you can still get it tbh.

It is still available so I have just found:
https://www.amazon.co.uk/SprayMount-.../dp/B000J68HBO
Do be aware though of the possibility of damage to health. Before it had to be used with adequate ventilation or a spray booth and after working a shift, everything was covered with a fine film of SprayMount, wristwatches, glasses and probably our lungs too!
