Float mounting and frame fixings, by Wilson on Mar 2, 2015 11:27:52 GMT 1, Hi I wonder if anyone would be able to answer a couple of questions.
Float mounting. Does this damage the print at all. I know that the print has to be attached by clips which are attached by rice glue or the like. I have seen some prints for sale on EBay that show damage after float mounting.
Secondly, I have loft walls which are sloped. Are there any fixings anyone is aware of. I was looking for something a little more modern than:
Thanks

Float mounting, if done properly, doesn't damage the print.
I recently sold a print to a forum member that was removed from it's frame and had been float mounted and the print hadn't been damaged in any way.
I would also say that unless you are confident go to your framer and let him do it!

The only print that is 'mint' is one that hasn't been framed. Using Japanese Hayaku hinges or acid free board just minimises the extent of damage.

Have to disagree with this. Expert framing using correct pastes as adhesives should leave no damage.

I reckon the word damage is a bit strong but I kinda agree potential for harm is there. I use Hayuka and acid free everything and have started to use cotton rag more than anything else but if I want to enjoy my art on the wall the mounting options are limited. Wall it and enjoy it.

Expert framing using correct pastes as adhesives should leave no damage.
For example is the artwork going to be subject to heat, changes in humidity, what material is the piece on and it's weight and what medium is used to paint the picture and is this a factor. There are good products out there to chose from for variety of effects and materials that minimise, but not necessarily eradicate damage.

I think the key word you used is 'should'. In my extensive framing experience and talking with many top framers and conservationists there is always some residual damage. Framing the correct way for the type of effect you want and what you are actually framing cuts down on damage, but there are always risks.

I realise that I should have posted this somewhere else.
