Best Way To Attach Film Background?

[AdAndrews]

I have a blue on the one side, black on the other, pretty standard film backing, i was wondering whats the best way to attatch it, i have heard of people using oils and all sorts, but surely that makes it slide off

i use some of that spray oil stuff (spray the sheet the side you want showing it makes it bright and clear too) for cooking with lol that sticks it too the back in place too while you mess about with the cellotape lol

I taped one end pulled tight to the other side and taped again, then went round all edges with more tape, takes time and effort to get bang on

i to use celotape i think it works a charm!

Ok guys, i have done it now, i used oil in the end, have managed to do it fairly well, but still got a few bubbles, somebody said about the heat of the water helping it to straighten out, but that create more bubbles that i cannot smooth out seen as the tank is backed onto a wall?

Dont think you will notice it much was everything is in the tank etc.

ok, nothing is in the tank at the moment, i am currently raising funds for some rock/heater so it wont be full for another 5-7 days i suspect.
