Matt framing

Postby Sandy Feet on Tue Mar 07, 2006 11:30 pm

Has anyone had any experience with 3/4 layer matt framing like you see people selling photos at markets ie backing board/photo/matt.

I'm after info on glue used, also about a layer between backing board and photo due to acid leeching.

Thanks
Rod

Hi Rod - i use acid free tape to attach my photos to mats. Magic tape is acid free.

Try a search on framing, there's a bit of info there. Also, try these guys:
http://www.frameco.com.au - I use their gear, but they also have the matte board and backings :)
