Can anyone help me with a mosaic?

It's all laid out on the board it is going on - and I've suddenly realised I cannot get the glue underneath

Is there anyway to escape relaying all the little pieces?

Or am I stuffed?

Cover it with tape/sticky back plastic so when you lift up the sticky back plastic your pieces are stuck too it, then glue the board, plonk your pieces back on and peal of the tape/ sticky back plastic.

Just an idea

I would find someway of attaching the stickback plastic to another board so it doesn't sag and flop everywhere. Depends how big the mosaic is really.

It's 36 inches square

I haven't got anything big enough

I think I'll use sellotape and do it in squares (if that makes sense?)

Can you put another board on top. Tape the 2 together, turn it upside down, remove tape. Glue the proper board, place on top, tape together, turn over, remove tape...

I haven't anything big enough to turn it on to

Ialso don't think I could lift it

But if I stick bits together in squares that might work (sort of 6 inch squares?)

Maybe??
