where are you based? as there is a great framing supply shop in Birmingham where you can get tape. They do have a website but not sure about delivery prices. Plus i think you have to buy a few rolls together and cant just get one. Or you could just ask your local framer to supply you with a roll, i get mine from my local framers.

I'm having the same problem.

Lineco make great products for all of this but I can't seem to find a UK internet retailer who supplies any of it. guess a trip to the local framer is the only way to go.

Wessex pictures.. I use them for heaps of framing supplies and have a good range of tapes etc. www.wessexpictures.com/tapes.html

The Filmoplast 'P90' Tape is ok for cheaper prints if you are hinge mounting and comes off with water (slow process) or the 1" Archival Gummed Tape for more conservation standards.
Can't remember if they do the mylar corners but probably do

As long as the mount and the backboard are acid free, then tissue paper isn't needed, tissue paper people are talking about is for STORAGE into sleeves.

And use archival tape (so it doesn't go all gluely and crappy with age like cellotape) in as small quantities as possible to either attach print to backboard (if float mounting) or print to mount if mounting within the erm......mount.

And there were already a bajillion threads about framing, we really could have done without another one. But then me being a mug had to go and comment on it. Ho hum.

Hi ABC
Print is one of Cautys bunnys
Print is basically square, mount has been cut to overlap the edge of the print by about 5mm all round

Howaboutno
Sorry if you think my post unnecessary, but I had questions that i though folks here could answer, and they have!
Thanks for you help

Ok, So I have bought some PH7 neutral conservation tape to hang my print to the mount.

my question is once its attached can it be removed later - it seems pretty sticky stuff (more so than masking tape)

Im after the above, been into every framing place there is round here and none have any, was told to order via lion direct but they want £50 min order, is there anywhere else online i can buy these from?
Ta

ive tried about 7 different framers and they all said no

good thinking batman, im up for that

Ive looked everywhere for these. Ended up making some spacers up out of 5mm wood. Look fine and ends up a very cheap option.

I got the 25mm which is strong enough to hold my flying copper which is a fairly big print (about the same size as GIWTBB which I've not got round to doing anything with yet). It was delivered pretty quickly as I recall.

order £50s worth and sell the spares, theres plenty of people on here who what some spacers.

Hi, re-framing a print and after advice on the best tape to use to fix the print to the mount. Must be up to conservation standards.
Any links to sites selling this would also be gratefully appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Nobody looks there, I'd be waiting till xmas for advice. Don't be anal!
