Back in the day in architecture school, when both bond strength and immediacy
were required for certain "applications," we would somehow, and this was long
ago so I forget the details in specific, cover the paper or board with both
Elmer's type white glue and spray-on adhesive, photo mount or whatever. The
spray adhesive would stick immediately, the white glue more gradually and
permanently.

We don't generally consider our own printed output in the same kid-glove
conservatorial way that we treat the objects they describe. Plenty of
double-stick tape where I work now, no comment, 'nuff said.

Does anyone beside me remember the marketing origins of Elmer's glue-all in
the late 1950s? Borden's was a New York City area dairy. Milk products were
championed by daisy-wreathed Elsie Borden, a cow. Elmer, her mate, sired the
glue.
