He said you could use silicon (extremely messy), or Warlon Sheet Bond
(available only in Japanese stores), but the double sided tape would
work as well, and have the plus of the owner being able to remove/change
in the future.


The Laminated Shoji paper arrived yesterday evening via FedEx, rolled up
in a tube.

Mounted it this morning (with assistance from a friend of ours who has a
picture framing shop in the neighborhood), and using double sided tape
as above. Good thing to, because it takes at least four hands of the
"never did this before variety":

Looks really good. I'm assuming using the laminated sheet makes it
easier to install with out any possible wrinkles showing? If you
were doing it solo could you do it like you were doing contact glue
and support it above the tape as you had it so the double tape was
beneath the surface? I really like how the light background makes the
frame pop out.
