My folks came into town a few weeks ago and, for entertainment, we decided on a 3000 piece puzzle. Since Chad and I have two little critters that like to nom on things they shouldn't be nomming on, this had to be a quick operation. We brought the puzzle home mid-day Saturday and finished Tuesday night. Not too shabby.
I thought it would make a nice reasonably inexpensive wall hanging, so I went ahead and bought some puzzle glue. I probably should have realized it at the time, but you don't really need a special glue for a puzzle. Plus, it came with an annoying sponge spout that ripped off in short measure. If you've got a puzzle that needs gluing, I recommend getting some Mod Podge and a paint brush. It's a hell of a lot faster and you get much better coverage.
Once it was all glued, I mounted it on a tri-fold foam board which was super easy to glue on and cut down, but it's much more prone to buckling than particle board would have been. Then we slapped it up with some mirror mounts and now we've got a nice 48" x 32" map to decorate our bedroom!
