Office Planning Center

Home office with storyboard on wall to right. The "board" is actually a piece of ripstop nylon 72" L x 58" W. The surface of the storyboard is a sprayed coating of 3M™ Photo Mount™ Spray Adhesive. The cards are 4" x 6" index cards that adhere to the sticky surface and can be removed, re-positioned and rearranged easily. Since the cards themselves are not sprayed with the adhesive, the bond to the sticky sheet is temporary. I learned storyboarding from Jim Norman in Phoenix AZ. I learned about sticky sheets from Holly Lesko and Lesley Howard , two very capable facilitator-leaders from Blacksburg VA. The sticky sheet is sort of like a great big Post-it® Note placed sticky side out on a wall. Paper, cards, photos, pictures flipchart pages all easily stick to the surface and are as easily removed. I use mine in this installation to do planning for projects, events, and presentations.

Special Note: when spraying the adhesive onto the nylon, I always do it outdoors. Before using the product, read the precautionary information. The 3M™ Photo Mount™ Spray Adhesive needs to be resprayed occasionally to keep the surface tacky. Be sure to do the respraying outdoors. This may be inconvenient. You'll not regret taking this precaution. Update: I re-sprayed my sticky sheet this morning. Took it outside, laid it on the deck, sprayed it, let the nylon sheet sit for the 10 minute flash time, then re-mounted it on the wall. Even still, I can smell the adhesive in my office. Technical Note: this product is not considered a repositionable adhesive. Probably, the residual tack of the dried adhesive allows us to "stick" the cards to the nylon. All that aside, it works.
