Under mount

[pramsay13]

Any suggestions on the best board to use for the undermount (for hinging artwork to), and where to buy it. (50 sheets?)

[David McCormack]

I think it is best to use the same standard of board you're using for your windowmounts in which case I use Arqadia Minuet for my undermounts. However, the FATG recommends a minimum of 1100 microns for undermounts at conservation level, so you could use Arqadia Conservation Backing LLL008950 which works out at a better price than Minuet. They sell it in packs of 25.

I just use conservation mount board.

I would agree with David and two packs of 25 sheets LLL008950 will conveniently give enough for a carriage paid order if you order online.

As it happens we were looking around for barrier boards last week and other than Colourmount which is too thin at 550 microns this one seems to be the only viable alternative.

I always use the same standard board as the window mount, that way the artwork is sandwiched between the same standard of board.
