Framing Cardboard - Advice Sought, by Happy Go Lucky Chap on Aug 4, 2016 2:37:33 GMT 1, I am eventually getting around to framing a large piece on thick cardboard, approx 1msq. Am thinking of floating it between perspex, has anyone here done similar, what tape, fixings did you use? Photos please.

Framing Cardboard - Advice Sought, by natstan on Aug 4, 2016 14:15:27 GMT 1, 
This parra sketch on cardboard is smaller at about 30cm x 70cm and i had it floated using acid free tapes at 6 spots on the back. As the cardboard is already not exactly in 'mint' condition with those arkitip tapes around, i guess a little tape marks don't really matter in this case. But at that size you have, I reckon you need lots of tapes on the back to keep it on.

Framing Cardboard - Advice Sought, by Agent Provocateur on Aug 4, 2016 15:14:17 GMT 1, Cardboard framed looks cool... it's sorta like eating a doner kebab on a plate with cutlery.
How to fix it in the fame is another matter, glue, double sided tape, bluetack, chewing gum, [Paul Insect]*, go with your gut. Specialist ph neutral disolvable Japanese archival paper hinges might be ott tho.
Here's a photo of a bit of cardboard framed a happy punter sent me last week.

*edit: this was meant to say 'pin s' not Paul Insect... how the f*ck can you attach a piece of cardboard in a frame with Paul Insect!

Framing Cardboard - Advice Sought, by randomname on Aug 4, 2016 16:22:27 GMT 1, I have a cardboard piece floated in a tray frame with no glass. Looks nice if you don't mind it getting a little dusty.

Framing Cardboard - Advice Sought, by NYart on Aug 5, 2016 0:53:24 GMT 1, I personally enjoy them stuck right up on the wall, doesn't seem right having a rough rugged piece framed in my opinion. Obviously leaving it to the elements isn't ideal but, maybe consider like a shadow box? Not as deep as you'd use for a canvas obviously, but floating in there might still look sharp. Almost like you just have a border around it.
