Ensure both the mountboard surface and the item being mounted are clean and dry. Use an appropriate adhesive for the materials, apply evenly, and press firmly for the recommended duration. Humidity can affect adhesive performance.

Ensure your craft knife or mat cutter blade is sharp. Use a metal ruler or straight edge to guide your cuts, and apply consistent pressure. A cutting mat underneath will also help achieve cleaner results.
