Joie,
Double sided sticky
tape works best in my opinion. It comes in many different sizes and
thickness. I tried using contact cement but it softend the red, speedball
carving medium. Scraps pieces of 1/2 to 3/4 inch pine also works great for
backs. This remindes me, I should put a couple of stamp construction
photos in my web site.

I use good old "Liquid Nails." You can find it in small tubes in addition
to the large home building caulk gun driven ones. It is MADE to stick in a
wide range of temperatures and to a wide range of materials.

Another good cement is Barge Cement. It also comes in tubes and works
for many materials.
