They make a special glue for this called "Fray > Check", but if your budget is limited most any glue is OK. Wow, you guys have had tons of ideas. I'm mulling them over (and seeing if I can get my wife to sew the checkerboard border for me). For now, I have the board I made up on card stock and laminated. I also like the look of the Tri-Chess boards.
