How to frame a large poster.... OR NOT

Post by Rainbow »

I came across this web site and didn't know whether to be horrified or amused:

https://decoradventures.com/how-to-frame-large-poster/

So now we know how to get rid of bubbles when you've spray-mounted a poster to some foamboard :lol:

I call this article a horror story
  • spray adhesive mounting
  • lumber yard moulding - cutting it to size & painting it
  • cost of drop cloth and equipment
  • no glazing protecting the art
  • no accounting for the disruption in home
  • adhesive overspray all over the room
  • no accounting for their time.
PLUS
I wonder how this will look like in a year or so?
