Memories can be fleeting, but even the smallest photograph can preserve the moments closest to your heart for longer. Mounting a photograph onto porcelain for a memorial is a subtle way to commemorate loved ones who, sadly, are no longer with us. Below, we explain how to carry out the whole process so that the final result meets your expectations.

Photos on porcelain — mounting on a memorial using glue

To mount a photograph onto porcelain effectively, you’ll need a few accessories. Start by preparing a special silicone-based adhesive (available in our shop) — ordinary adhesives may prove insufficient when faced with external factors (such as rainfall), not to mention the risk of damaging the surface of the memorial. You’ll also need a degreasing wipe (or another product with a similar effect), as well as — naturally — a photograph in your chosen format, ordered from our shop.

You’re just a few steps away from correctly mounting your porcelain photo on the monument:

1. Clean the surface of dirt, dust and grease – a properly cleaned stone is essential for the adhesive to bond firmly,

2. Apply a layer of adhesive to the back of the photograph — apply one layer about half a centimetre from the edge and a second layer closer to the centre, ensuring the adhesive forms a continuous line,

3. Place the photograph in the chosen spot and press down firmly — avoid any gaps or unevenness,

4. Remove any excess adhesive that has seeped out after pressing down — a plain dry cloth will do the job,

5. Leave to dry — the silicone starts to set just 5 minutes after application, and takes around 24 hours to dry completely. You can use tape during this time to prevent the porcelain from slipping.
