Non destructive way to stick drawing onto mountboard.

Post by Jon_Brooke »

A customer would like me to stick a vintage drawing onto a piece of mountboard which will then have a mount with a gap around the drawing before framing (so they can still see the edges). There's no massive financial value but I think quite a lot of sentimental value to the family into the future so someone might want to do something different with the drawing at a later date.

What are people's favourite solutions to this problem?

Thanks,


Jon

The hedgehog method is often a good possibility, if the paper is not to thin. Trying to hide the effects of the hinges when the artwork is using excessively thin paper can be a bit of a problem.
