Can anyone recommend a glue for sticking pics on the inside of lexan shells, freely available in the UK?

I used XXX Main a few years back, but it's a bit thin on the ground now and a pot will cost me nearly £15 from eBay!

Anything else surfaced in the last 8 years?

Thanks for the suggestions
Started to have a play before I order anything.
So far, tried 3M Photo Mount, Wickes Wood Glue and Mod Podge - a hobby glue (smells a lot like PVA) from Hobbycraft.

These first three are all Mod Podge

Holes in pic 1 are from me trying to smooth out wrinkles with a squeegee

This is Mod Podge with a little water to thin it down

Photo Mount

Whilst the paper didn't wrinkle with the photo mount, the glue is the most visible through the plastic although it's not designed to be used like this

Glue and voids on Mod Podge

Viewed straight on they're barely visible, this pic is really to show the worst it could look
