Vinyl Album
I've been asked to frame a record and sleeve like this 'floating' on the mountboard.
Any ideas on best way to secure them to mountboard?
I imagine the record itself will be easy enough using a washer through the hole in the middle, but what about the sleeve? Maybe melinex at the corners?

Re: Vinyl Album
You can cut a bit of mountcard in the shape of the whole lot, so square at the left side and round on the right, slide the square into the sleeve, and secure that to the backing mount ( such as tags , wire, or whatever you like) , then make a hole in the centre of the round bit, slide the record into the sleeve and pop your bolt through the record and shaped card and backing mount, pop a nut on the back, job done

Re: Vinyl Album
The last time we did one like this...I used double sided tape and some glue!
Did the job nicely!
*waits for the conservation police to come*
To give it some context, they'd went and bought a vinyl copy of the song they had for the first dance at their wedding from a charity shop for a few quid and wanted it done quickly and cheaply. Think it also had a nicely typed out copy of the lyrics. Customer was more than happy to have it glued down, so why not...
This might be a slightly different situation though!

Re: Vinyl Album
Making corner blind straps as John McAfee suggested in the link make sense for holding the Record Jacket in position. I would probably juse clear Mylar straps and the job is almost invisible.
As far as anchoring the vinyl LP itself, I would simply pass a book post through the hole in the center. Make sure that the mountboard is mounted to foam centered board for extra support. But this method is Easy, Reversible, and Inexpensive.
We always keep a handful of these posts in our supply cabinet...several of various lengths on hand.
Regards,
John

Re: Vinyl Album
A good thing for records are mirror screws. They come with a little plastic collar which cushions the record
against contact with the metal. Also, they come with little plastic domes to conceal the screw head.
You do have to have something the screw into. A little wood block glued to the outside of the backboard would
do the trick.

Re: Vinyl Album
I had a few packs of these in the workshop from when I started
http://www.halfords.com/workshop-tools/ ... el-buttons#
Pretty handy for anything like this, can snip the end off the back and hold it in place with a dab of glue to keep it secure.
Need to get some more...

Re: Vinyl Album
Finally got around to finishing this.
I ended up using one of these doofers.
It's a plastic fixing for car panels but it happens to be a perfect size for a vinyl album centre.
You put the outside piece through the hole, then the centre piece fits in the middle and pushes the outside bits out a bit to hold it in place.
I have it going through the mountboard and the backing board which will also let the customer spin it if it happens to turn slightly, although it feels pretty well wedged in.

Re: Vinyl Album
Looks neat and unobtrusive.
One tip that was posted on here a while ago is to put some fabric behind the record (glued to the mountboard), or a circle of suedette/fabric board. The friction this creates, stops the record from turning!
