(Quote) That's tight enough.

Check your responses. I provided info for Jerry’s Art-O-Rama

I'm not sure what you're referring to regarding backing but I've found museum-style presentations are best. Generally, it a simple black frame with acid-free matboard but it depends on what size poster you're trying to frame.
For the … -

Do you make your frames? They look good!
I've been making my frames for years but lately, the prices for materials have soared.
If you order frame materials (not the mat board) and assemble yourself, do you have a good sourc… -
(Quote) The posters I mount are wet when I apply them to the Masa or Mulberry. I spray both sides of the poster with distilled water before mounting it to the board. Prior to carrying the poster to the board, I leave the poster face down o…

(Quote) Mylars are cleaned. Part of the problem is rips and tears on posters, especially if it tears along a fold line. The paste squeezes through the rip/ tear and leaks onto the poster surface.
Any thoughts on how to mop it u… -
(Quote) I mix up Calcium Hydroxide (Ca(OH)2) with distilled water as described by Charlie and Mark (Eisenhower) in a number of threads on this site.
Here's the basic description (search the site for more detail) for the mix:

(Quote) Yes. I easily ripped off the leftover canvas bits. I’m thinking at some point it’s going to be solid metal after driving more staples with the air nailer/ stapler. I was thinking about a hand tacker/ stapler too (just bought sone 1…

(Quote) Yes. Deacidifying first.

(Quote) I think you nailed it. I didn’t let the Holytex dry overnight. I slapped everything together in one go. Lesson learned. I used a squeegee to get the excess water and paste out but I had a few air pockets that were tricky to remov…

(Quote) Good call on the wheat paste. While I think I had the Mulberry covered, it didn’t look like I had as much wheat paste applied as some of the pics and videos posted here and on other sites. I’ll increase the amount on my next try.

The creases are very hard to see but I'm shooting for NO c… -

I bought the 54" version of this one on Amazon. It was $22.00 (now $21.00):

Thanks!

Forgot to add, this is what I didn't do:
i then washed my poster, sandwiched in between mylar, then removed 1 sheet of mylar, brushed a thin layer of adhesive, then with the poster still on one side of the mylar, laid it down o… -
(Quote) So....Mark and Charlie are lightyears ahead of me but the process I described and Mark commented on was my first attempt at paperbacking. If you look around, Charlie posted a couple of video that partially covers his process that I …

Gentlemen - thanks!!! Going back to the well this week to try it again!

Trying to figure out where I went sideways with recent paperbacking attempt.
Feedback or answers to questions above always appreciated! -
I'm closing this thread and moving on to my bleaching adventure with the Lobby Card (LC) in another post.
As mentioned, if it were a valuable LC, I'd likely NOT bleach it. The deacidifacation process really improved the appearance by… -
I pretty much hung it up on restoring the Doors concert handbill. This is the handbill that was handed out AFTER the Aug. 5, 1967 concert. The reason for this is, unlike many of the old Bill Graham shows out on the West Coast back in the day, t…

(Quote) Perfect timing. Thanks!
While I was looking for bleaching guidance online, I stumbled into the same article. Very helpful. -
While I'm wrapping this up, if anyone can share their preferred bleach mix and/ or technique, please advise what works best for you.
-
I'm going to wrap up this thread before moving on to bleaching. The reason for this is it getting somewhat long, I'm still a rookie and I've more than a few more questions and didn't want them to get buried here.
I'll post more pics of t… -
(Quote) Very helpful. TY.
I didn’t see this before I started. I ended up doing three 10-min. decided baths with tap rinse (our water here is somewhat hard - I thought I’d get some added buffer) with the LC between two sheets of My… -
It's still too cold here in Metro Detroit to work on frames/ painting outside so I mixed up the deacidification mix.
I used a 1L jar, three grams of Calcium Hydroxide CA(OH)2 and distilled water. I mixed it up and let it sit over night …
