You could sandwich it between two sheets of acrylic and seal the edges with scotch magic tape.
You should find that the static and pressure will hold it in place.

You could try ukframingsupplies.net

Won't this create a static charge each time you place it and remove it? I would have thought this would necessitate more regular cleaning and more likelihood of scratches each time.
Have you considered using glass??

What about using clear archival mounting corners. That way they remain in pristine condition. If you don't like seeing the clear corners, you could use a shadow mount with a window cut smaller than the corners.

Russ Wood of Grey Owl Framing has produced a number of books on this , some are available from Lion's or contact him direct at greyowlframing@gmail.com and he can supply PDF copies via email.

Haha, yup everything gets a label of sticky tape. Im just paranoid about damaging the frames when they're leaning up against each other in storage, so bubble wrap it is , usually..

Hi tlm,
Give Steve Goodall a ring at Wessex Oldham branch 0161 6812959, he usually knows what's out there in terms of Hotpresses.

I would suggest doing it yourself. I'm assuming that it will save you money as well as teaching you how to resquare it/check it in future. We've installed and resquared our Fletcher twice, it's not a big deal, but if you are wall mounting it, be sure to have two helpers to hold it in position while ...

We've just bought a paper roll dispenser from Globe Packaging, for the same reason. We usually pack with bubblewrap (recycled as much as possible) most of the time as it allows us to safely store it protected til pick up. We're going to trial wrapping with paper, although on a rainy day, not uncommo...

Still for sale. Open to offers if collected/you arrange a courier collection or I'm happy to discuss meeting part way if that helps.

If you haven't done this before or been shown, I strongly suggest having a few practice runs with some bars and a piece of canvas. I trained on quite small ones and doing one 90x90 takes more time and patience. Its really important to get good tight neat corners without cutting off the corner fabric...

Shadow float mounting - I can't help as i use acid free white gummed tape for almost all my hinging. I cut two pieces of mountboard to the border width, place one on the left side and one on the bottom, flush with the mountboard. Place it near the edge of the worktable and gently clamp the strips in...

Still for sale.
No visitors are allowed from England into Wales until December the 6th, but I am happy to package it up ready for collection by your courier.

I would try using a wood glue like Titebond instead of Mitre bond which is a type of superglue. My understanding is that the underpinner wedges are to hold the joint in place whilst the wood glue goes off. I think in your case the mitre bond will set immediately and the wedges will then break the jo...

Pmed you.
