The Framers Forum

Hi

Customer has a old £5 note with a certificate and wants them going into the 1 frame. That is not the problem he wants the mount to be about 3mill all around away from the note and certificate. He is having Arqadia 8144 so my question is what board would you use underneath and what would you use to stick both the note and certifcate down with

Thanks

Ken

PS how do i show a picture of the note which i have

Hi Ken,

I'll leave it to others to answer the framing question, but it is easy to add an image to your post by clicking on the 'Add image to post' link which appears just below the box where you enter the body of your post.

In the box that appears when you click on the link, click on 'Browse' to navigate to the image that you want to upload, and once selected, click on the 'Upload It' button.

If you experience any difficulties please let me know.

With the note being double-sided I'd encapsulate it and cut the mount aperture very close to the edge to prevent movement. Or use clear photo corners, but they would be visible.

With the cert I'd either encapsulate as well or use tiny dots of wheatstarch paste.

Those methods and others, plus some nice creative tips on float mounting
