Google just tries to sell me maps to mount on a wall.
So; requirements.
I can mount a map flat on the wall (OS or purpose bought/printed) behind some kind of clear plastic and easily remove the map and replace with another.
I don't want to buy laminated maps and use Blu Tack.
The wall I have in mind as first attempt has OSB behind the plaster board to make wall mounting stuff a bit easier.
However I also want a solution which will work on normal plastered brick/ block walls.
My first thought is to buy a flat bit of plastic sheet (but which type?) and drill the corners to take screws which then screw into wall plugs. Probably mirror screws with the chrome tops to hide the screw behind.
We looked at having the maps framed but framing a decent sized map is framing expensive!
The biggest problem that I anticipate is flattening the map and holding it to the clear plastic whilst fitting it to the wall; I have an image of a lot of cursing and swearing as the map slips to the floor each time I try and fit it to the wall.
I know that spray mount can be used to attach pictures to display boards. Is there a (temporary) spray mount which is also transparent which could be used to stick the map to the plastic and hold whilst offering up to the wall but allow the map to be removed undamaged when the time comes to change the map?
Bonus if the clear plastic can be drawn on (e.g. for planning a route on an OS map) and then wiped clean.
Cheers
