Mounting a map to go on the wall
Just bought some nice big maps (some from OS and one from Lidl) and went to
a picture framer to ask how much it would be to have one framed and/or mounted. Three figure quote later I am reconsidering my position! Someone who used to have a picture framing business suggested that one option would be to glue the map to some hardboard then varnish it. Nicely DIY :-) So - any recommendations about glues? Wallpaper paste is one obvious route. However when they mount pictures on a card backing they put a sheet of glue fabric between the picture and the card, then put it into a heated press. DIY version might be to smooth it gently with a warm iron if I can get a suitable glue sheet. I will be consulting my friend Google but any advice gleaned from real world experience would be most welcome. Cheers Dave R |
