Anyone recommend a glue/sticky stuff that will hold a 7" single and sleeve in place in a picture frame between glass and a glossy backing sheet. I'd like something that's non permanent and won't leave a stain or tear the surface when removed. I was thinking of something along the lines of a non staining Bluetak, or a gentle version of the gunge that's used to stick things like CDs to magazines.
Anyone know of such a substance?
MTIA.
A little bit of felt might give enough friction to hold it in place.
Cow gum.

double sided foam tape.
"glue dots" are what you need, They are the things they use in magazines. Google for them. Simon.
Thanks to all for the suggestions, I'll experiment with a few and see what works best. Based on the felt suggestion, maybe a piece of rubbery plastic would work too.
Paper clip through the front of the single in the centre then bend the legs over behind the frame ?
I was going to suggest cutting up an old mousemat to take advantage of the non-slip backing, but I was trying to find something that wouldn't risk degrading and staining the single sleeve.
For the sleeve, I would suggest photocorners.
Asking the local archivist might be a good idea...

Thanks, of the various suggestions I tried the "repositionable glue dots" first and they were exactly what I needed, they stuck and repositioned without damaging the sleeve, disc or backing.
