I've got a Denoyer-Geppert map to frame. It's pretty heavy, linen backed with card covers when folded.
Plan is to mount it onto a dark mountboard with a 10 mm border and then frame that. Map iso 110 x 87 cm.
Thinking about how many fixing points to use, hedgehog style, and what adhesive.
Anyone done one of these and have any advice?
Thx

I would window mount it, personally. Hinging onto board is too tricky with the card covers imo. I'd hinge at the top and pinwheel around to allow tor the depth of map and card covers.

Don't know what you mean by adhesive? The hedgehog technique refers to hinging work to a board using hinging tapes. If you mean what adhesive to use to fix mountboard to mountboard then EVA glue is the recommended adhesive.
