Photo mounting on Dibond

So I watched the video below and gained an interest in possibly DIY mounting my photos on Dibond as mentioned in the video. I realize there are companies which do this with your photo but I am interested in knowing if anyone here has done this themselves? Seems like you can buy the Dibond but I can't find anywhere online describing exactly how to do it yourself.

Basically what adhesive to use to mount the printed photo to the aluminum dibond and what preparation to use ... Thanks for your comments in advance!

I owned a sign company for twenty five years. If you want something for long term, go with Dibond. Foam products warp. Regardless, reorder your print on self-adhesive vinyl and lay it down that way. To learn how to do it, go to a sign company and buy small scraps of vinyl and aluminum or any other scrap substrate. Buy a small squeegee. Practice before using the final print and substrate. The results will look great. Spray adhesives suck. Good luck.

Try YouTube for how to apply the vinyl to the substrate..
