I came across this web site and didn't know whether to be horrified or amused:
https://decoradventures.com/how-to-frame-large-poster/
So now we know how to get rid of bubbles when you've spray-mounted a poster to some foamboard

I call this article a horror story
- 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?

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.

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