Digital BW, The Print

Hi,

When mounting and framing a print (for hanging) under glass, I need 
to protect the back of the mount board from the environment by 
placing a barrier between it and the hardboard or whatever.  Will 
aluminium/aluminum kichen foil do the trick?  What are the other 
options?

Thanks,

Colin

Colin,

Framers have always used brown paper glued to back of wood frames. I think 
the best way is to use foam core or builder's sheet foam. It keeps the matt 
from warping. We had a long discussion about this a couple months 
ago.  Something about photo eating worms :-)
