I am going to attempt to do a chipboard album. What is the best adhesive to use for  putting down the background paper?

I would tell you to use the beacon 3 in one

I would use decoupage glue--just on the back of the paper. Or a spray adhesive.  I once used a glue stick, and didn't have trouble with it coming off.

mod podge is what I use

mod podge or tacky glue/

I use mod podge as well.

Mod podge here too 

Thanks!! I will have to give it a try. Hopefully soon.

This is what I use because I don't like how glossy mod podge looks or feels on my albums. Although I think there is a mat finish now, but have never tried it. 

I used to know mono for to glue the paper down and didn't seal it with anything on top.

I have never heard of Beacon3. Will have to look for it. Thanks.

I've used just about everything under the sun to adhere my paper to the chipboard.  My favorite is Mod Podge Matte.  The first time I used it was in 2010 when I did my first Kaiser Craft MDF project.  Just make sure you remove any potential air bubbles from occurring.  Less chance of occurring on chipboard then MDF wood.  I use my bone folder to make sure I have no bubbling always from center to edge.  I've seen score tape used on mini albums published to You Tube to adhere paper..
