I received my order from Kingmill -- two days via Priority Mail -- and am looking it over. There's a warning in big letters on the sheets not to use white glue. I may experiment, though, on scrap material from the sheets. I think they advise against white glue because full strength it will cause wrinkles and bulges in the surface. Diluted, though, I think it will be much better. This has been my experience with Paper Creek paper, which is thinner.
Another point, which I didn't see on their web site (it's probably there, but I missed it) is that they have two series: Commercial Street, which are reduced-scale images designed to attach directly to the backdrop, and Jefferson Street, which are HO scale images designed to be low relief. Dr Wayne has been working with the Jefferson Street ones. I got one of each, which is perfect for my experiments!
