Backgrounds

Anyone found a good way to stick on backgrounds?

I've just been wraping around the back and taping the edges, but there has
to be something to put the background flush with the glass. Lately I've
squirted some water between, smoothed out with a credit card, but that's
short term, and edges don't stick. Thinking maybe sugarwater??
7-Up/Sprite/Ginger Ale, something sticky but clear, and won't hurt if it
gets in the tank accidentally.
Heard reference to vegtable oil being used, not sure if I want that near my
tank.

Cheers

vasoline, but messy.... silicone, not the adhesive may work, but again,
messy....

really, I've thought about painting the back of a tank before it gets
installed, but the chances of wanting it to change, makes it nearly
impossible...

If you do happen to come up with an idea... I'll listen...

Rubber cement (both on the glass and the background, let dry, then v-e-e-r-y
carefully stick). Not a good idea to get the wet cement in the tank (once
dry, it's pretty inert). Get it right the first time -- you'll destroy the
background if you ever remove it.
