HELP!! I need a piece of photo mount

Posted by Jacki Bilsborrow on January 28, 2011 at 12:33am

Hello,

I need a piece of 24 X 30 photo mount.  I am looking for a sheet that has sticky on both sides so that it can be mounted to a piece of foam core.  This is a wedding photo of my son's.  I needs a good sheet.  I will pay for the sheet and shipping.  Anybody out there that can help me?

    Find a local sign print or graphics shop that is using a roll laminator.  They can probably either sell you a piece of foamcore with adhesive on it or add to a board you have.  Most won't have double side release paper available.  My rolls are all single side release.

    Is this something you've seen before? I've used a similar product from Savage about 20 years ago but found that they warped terribly and ended up mounting onto fome core before matting and framing, and I couldn't go larger than 11x14 and even the 8x10's warped. That's when I figured out that prints needed to be hinged not mounted. And larger prints needed to be heat or spray mounted or mounted with PMA. You're better off taking it to a local framer and have them mount it for you so you have a better chance of it coming out right.

      Yes, I used to mount 20 X 24 for Norm Darwish.  We mounted it on to foam core and it was just fine.  I have some here and they have never warped.  What is the largest size photo you sell?

        16x20 but I mount using scotch PMA in a roller press.
