Methods and materials for mounting illustrations, clippings, pictures, and the like (hereinafter referred to as pictures) in accurate position on mounting boards, picture-album pages, and like supports, or between two sheets of transparent plastic, by making use of pressure-sensitive adhesive mounts that include a base with a layer of adhesive on one or both surfaces and with a release sheet overlying the adhesive, the release sheets of the present invention having guide lines thereon in some forms of the invention and having cuts therethrough to provide a plurality of release sheet sections that can be removed selectively, the release sheet material being sufficiently thick where a center section is removed so that one or more sections can be removed and the picture to be mounted can be moved about on the remainder of the release sheet without adhesively contacting the exposed adhesive until the picture is accurately positioned on the mount, at which time the picture is pressed into contact with the exposed adhesive, and the remainder of the release sheet is removed and the picture is progressively pressed into adhesive contact with the remainder of the adhesive in a direction away from the previously exposed adhesive to provide a wrinkle-free bubble-free bond. If it is desired to secure a picture to a support such as an album page, a mount with adhesive on both surfaces is used, and after the picture is adhered to the mount a section of the release sheet on the other side of the mount is removed and the composite picture and mount is arranged on the support so only the remainder of the release sheet touches the mount and the composite picture and mount is accurately located and held in position while the exposed adhesive is pressed into adhering contact with the support thereby fixing the position of the pictures on the support and thereafter the remainder of the release sheet is removed and the composite picture and mount is progressively pressed into adhering contact with the support in a direction away from the previously exposed adhesive.
