RE: [Digital BW] Foam Core: The Good Stuff is Acid Free

2002-07-12 by Steadman Uhlich

Keith,

What do you mean knocked down...did they fall from the wall and damage the
corners or ends...requiring a new smaller version to cut off the damage?

By the way...there is a new form of ATG (pressure sensitive double sided
sticky mounting) tape now that is acid free and repositionable too.  Pretty
neat stuff...(little more expensive)

Just curious,
Steadman

  I'd use either archival foam core or gatorboard...

  Non-archival foam core MAY give off formaldehyde and other volatile
vapors..

  I stopped using foamcore at Berkeley after two prints got knocked from a
  wall during a crit.. I had to run down the hall to the mounting room and
  recrop.. UGH... Never again..
