How to frame a large poster.... OR NOT

[Rainbow]

I came across this web site and didn't know whether to be horrified or amused:

So now we know how to get rid of bubbles when you've spray-mounted a poster to some foamboard

Putting the fun back into framing.

I call this article a horror story

• spray adhesive mounting

• lumber yard moulding - cutting it to size & painting it

• cost of drop cloth and equipment

• no glazing protecting the art

• no accounting for the disruption in home

• adhesive overspray all over the room

• no accounting for their time.

PLUS
I wonder how this will look like in a year or so?

BluTack would be preferable.

right so that's where we've been going wrong. I wonder will he post another one about bringing it to a framer

Well done Jessica... Surely it should be titled How I framed a large poster not "How to..."?
I sometimes wonder if these articles are written by other trades to wind up the picture framers. Imagine if someone wrote a piece about how to plumb/rewire your house without spending £££s on pesky professionals.

There's a huge bubble about half way along

This is the sort of thing that makes the $650 seem very cheap indeed!
