Hi Guys, quick bit of advice please, I am going to frame two original lino cut hand made prints and want to use cotton mat board. I have never used this before so can anyone please recommend which brand to use and also any hints and tips with regard to cutting it.
Thanks in advance.

I use crescent supplied by the sheet by wessex.
Only advise I can think of is fresh blade and use a rag offcut as the slip. Cuts lovely, nothing to worry about.

I echo what Justin (George) said

IMHO cutting the materials used in picture framing is the easy part of the process, providing you have good tools/equipment and sharp blades. It's other elements that can be tricky.

If you get stuck and need some help with those mounts then send me a pm.

Peter.
