framing a plaster relief
Posted: Thu 03 Aug, 2017 12:49 pm
Hi, i have a plaster relied to mount and frame. The customer has asked for it to be mounted on am MDF board and the board framed in a deep moulding.
The relief weighs 2.25Kg and is 350mm x 190 mm x 20 mm. The MDF board measures 735 x 570 x 9mm. The customer is happy that the relied once fixed will be permanent. Question. Whats the best adhesive to use. several people i have asked have suggested Silicon but i am concerned that it will not be strong enough to support the weight. I have tried to persuade the customer that it should have a supporting frame but she is adamant that she wants it adhered to a board. any suggestions or thoughts would be appreciated.
