I've been dry mounting 36" x 36" photographs on 10mm foamboard made from two sheets of 5mm board mounted together. This works OK to a certain degree but when dealing with large areas of foamboard it is very susceptible to warping
I'm float framing these within a frame with a 1/2" gap around the perimeter and then using velcro to keep the photograph/board in place. This works really well and the photo can be removed easily for transport and is great as the foamboard is a lightweight substrate.
Does anyone know of a different way I can get the same result using a less warp prone substrate [if any] that doesn't way a tonne?
I currently use an Ademco 24" press but the photo hangs out the side so I have to take 4 bites to get the whole area bonded. I use a foam matress so I don't get bite marks but it's just the heat which causes the foamboard to bend me thinks. Do they make jumbo 10mm?
Not sure if this is too late but I am relatively new to the board.
In answer to your question, 10mm foamboard is available in sheet size 8ft by 4ft I think. If you have not found an answer yet, please reply and I will forward the supplier
