I use 3mm foam core and 1.5mm mat board in aluminum frames. I have tried using only scotch tape to fix the prints to the mats at four to 6 points and I have tried to fix the prints to the foam core using spray tack. I have also tried to use a full sheet of mat board between the print and the foam core. All the permutations have moved..I have not tried just fixing the prints to the mat board along the top edge. Don't give me to bad a time on my technique if I have it wrong, I'm self taught and if you look at a map you'll see I'm around the corner from the back of beyond and I simply do not have access to most services for assistance on this kind of work. I am not certain if there is even a dry mounting machine at the 24 x 36" size in the entire country which would likely mean shipping to South Africa and risking the damage that comes with that.. Thanks for all your help Christopher L. Johnston Omaruru Namibia chris@... [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
