Framing Tape • Archival Tape • Acid Free Tape, by Black Apple Art on Mar 30, 2017 7:22:45 GMT 1, Lineco makes great products and actually have a newer archical pressure sensitive tape that I actually endorse. Several top places have been using it recently with a heptane formula for removal.

Which tape specifically? I've spoken to a local framer who's been framing for over 20 years and pasty of the fine art guild who says he uses double sided tape, saying everything he does is completely reversible and non destructive. This thread is a mixture of people saying to never use tape while others say it's not a problem..?

Framing Tape • Archival Tape • Acid Free Tape, by jgg on Mar 30, 2017 9:18:31 GMT 1, Thanks everyone. @ yobaby Most of the framers I know / I've spoken to also use standard double sided tape and that's why I upped this thread just to clear that up. However, I think it'll be best to follow the advice from the guys who have dealt with it in the past and avoid damage.
On utube there's also this nice Vid which shows you a nice way to float mount a print .

If he's been using double sided tape for 20 years he very well could have been doing it wrong for 20 years. I'd ask him what sort of double-sided tape he is using and what does he mean by reversible? Can he remove the tape and the adhesive without leaving any adhesive residue behind and without damaging the paper?

Unfortunately the reality of the current situation is that a lot of “qualified” framers are not quite up to conservation standards. Having had the good fortune to meet a qualified well referenced conservationist, I would be very wary of who I confide my artworks to for proper framing. Double sided tapes do not fit the bill as far as my framing knowledge goes.

Framing Tape • Archival Tape • Acid Free Tape, by rockbeer on Dec 12, 2017 23:25:10 GMT 1, From the Fine Art Trade Guild website:
"Fine Art Trade Guild framing standards continue to state that no self-adhesive tape is permissible for attaching artwork in conservation framing and that this should apply to the framing of limited edition prints of moderate to high value. The Guild would like to thank manufacturers and trade suppliers who have cooperated with the positioning of these tapes in their marketing and labeling, to clarify their position within Guild standards."
The guild publishes and maintains the standards for the framing industry.

Framing Tape • Archival Tape • Acid Free Tape, by Deleted on Dec 12, 2017 23:33:35 GMT 1, I have just ordered 3 frames from framefrog.co.uk for my Lichtenstein Abstract cows I got on a recommendation from here, Thanks
They came in at £270 for the 3 and they are pretty big at around 100cm x 75cm so £90 each inc a double mount and i should get them this side of Christmas
I cancelled the tape as it looked a bit like parcel tape, so can i pick some tape up from amazon or similar that will be easy to remove?
i usually get my stuff framed up, but they didnt get back to me, and i have finished renovating another room, and need to fill the walls quick sharp

Framing Tape • Archival Tape • Acid Free Tape, by rockbeer on Dec 13, 2017 0:12:08 GMT 1, There's no conservation tape that's trivial to remove, in that none will simply peel off without the risk of tearing or leaving residue behind, but some are easier than others. All require the appropriate solvent for the adhesive - looked at from that point of view, water-based adhesives are 'easier' since water is more readily available than specialised materials. But the removal will always require great care. Best to practice on scrap stock first, before trying it on real art.

Framing Tape • Archival Tape • Acid Free Tape, by JL Broooks on Dec 13, 2017 0:24:45 GMT 1, I've just had the same discussion with a paper conservatorist from the national museum in Norway - her very clear message was: never use self-adhesive tape on any artwork of a certain value. Self-adhesive tape will over time 'eat' into the paper and ultimately become visible also on the front of the paper.
Only tape that should be used is 'water-adhesive' tape / hinges. If your framer doesn't know what that is - go somewhere else. If your framer tries to convince you 'water adhesive tape is a waste of time'; go somewhere else - it means he doesn't know what it is.

Oh if only it were that easy!
You'll hate me for saying this, but if you're going to frame your own I'd suggest you do some reading up and learn about the various approaches, then you can make your own informed decision based on the art in question, your expectations for it and your aptitude for the techniques involved. It's complicated.
But if you really want to just go for it - and I offer this without knowing whether its suitable for your purposes - you could try something like this:
www.ukpictureframingsupplies.co.uk/gummed-acid-free-conservation-archival-mounting-and-hinging-tape-24mm-wide-sold-per-metre-165-p.asp
That site has lots of tapes - have a look and see if they have somethhing you prefer the look of. The PH7-70 self-adhesive is easier to assemble (harder to remove), and will be okay for low to low-moderate value art -which is not to say I disagree with what others have said about self-adhesive tapes, but PH7-70 is conservation-rated and I wouldn't be scared to use it.
Whatever you use, go careful - don't use too much tape or water, you shouldn't need more than a couple of strips of tape and you only need to attach about 5mm to the back (always and only the back) of the artwork - and I'll say it again, practice first on something that doesn't matter!
There's some decent information here:
www.thesouthgatestudio.com/harlequin/myths-hinging.pdf

Framing Tape • Archival Tape • Acid Free Tape, by jay4077 on Dec 13, 2017 12:26:29 GMT 1, sorry I'm a little confused. I want to frame some of my "cheap" prints myself as they will fit standard frames. I want to float mount them. Should I use double sided ph7-70 tape or should I use T-hinges with one-sided ph7-70 tape?
I also have some Banksy's I need to have framed. I would also like to have them in a box frame floating. What kind of tape/hinges should I insist my framer should use?

I would also like to have them in a box frame floating. What kind of tape/hinges should I insist my framer should use? For the Banksy prints you definitely want to use Japanese Mulberry paper and wheat paste as the adhesive. At the bottom of page 3 of this thread I posted a couple videos I made. In one video I am using wheat paste and Japanese mulberry paper to do a standard pendant. In the second video I demonstrate how quick and easy it is to reverse the process and how removing a wheat paste hinge leaves absolutely no mark or residual paste on the back of the print.
And if you want to see a method of floating prints with Japanese Mulberry paper and wheat paste check out the link below. I documented the process on expressobeans about 5 years ago.
**Well I can't seem to get the link to work, but google "expressobeans floating a print"

Framing Tape • Archival Tape • Acid Free Tape, by morrow on Dec 27, 2017 2:55:21 GMT 1, Purchased a framed print and would like to remove the print and put into an archival folder. I found the top of the print is taped to the back of the board. Is there a way to safely remove the tape without damaging the print? I’m a complete novice with this stuff as I always take my prints to be pro framed. I have no idea what kind of tape this is either as it was purchased this way.
Tape is white/cream and has a shine to the top of it. Any ideas or better off just going to my framer with it?

Framing Tape • Archival Tape • Acid Free Tape, by craigf on Dec 27, 2017 5:12:36 GMT 1, You could try a corner very carefully and see if it comes off as it is. Some tapes require soaking, but when I say soaking it is a very limited amount of water that is required. If in doubt give it to your framer for ease of mind

Framing Tape • Archival Tape • Acid Free Tape, by mrbagel on Dec 27, 2017 11:16:37 GMT 1, It will almost definitely need a solvent. 100% take it to a framer or conservator; otherwise there's a good chance you'll wreck it.

Framing Tape • Archival Tape • Acid Free Tape, by Brushstrokes 75 on Dec 27, 2017 13:16:44 GMT 1, Yep, best is to go see your framer, he shall be able to identify the tape. If it is a water-based special art tape (starch), then yep, as said above, a little soaking and you should be able to remove it. If it is a bad tape, then indeed you may have some stains in the long term as tape has lot of acidity. Technic used is to heat the tape with hair dryer in order to soften the adhesive, you can combine with betine or lighter fluid soaking, and gently scratch or sand the tape to remove tape and tape residue. Note that lighter fluid dissipates and does not leave any staining so you can soak the tape. Bestine also works well. Some don't care much about the tape and will cut the tape at the edge. Note that if tape is recent, you may not have tape stains. If there are, tape stains are permanent. This little video (which shows the heating and scratching process without use of fluid) will give you some ideas - www.preservationequipment.com/Blog/Blog-Posts/No-pressure-removing-pressure-sensitive-tapes what ashton said.
However, if you don't know what you're doing, to be on the safer side go to a framer or a restorer.

Use a very soft brush and take your time and the tape will come off a treat. This stuff should remove all adhesive residue too.
I've used it a lot and it works perfectly.

I've used it a lot and it works perfectly.

Framing Tape • Archival Tape • Acid Free Tape, by Viking Surfer on Dec 28, 2017 7:42:50 GMT 1, Take it to Tim at Darbyshires.
He'll get Sarah to look at it who is the best restorer around. I wouldn't trust my prints in anybody else's hands.

Framing Tape • Archival Tape • Acid Free Tape, by easycraig on Dec 28, 2017 18:22:51 GMT 1, I would hit it with a blow dryer first, medium to high heat, it might come off quite easily. Start with the side of tape that is on the mat (to see if it is willing) - the good thing is it looks like it is framing tape. ec

As stated
Use Zest it... & you can do it yourself, no problem.

Double sided tape is used as ”standard” but it need to be special tabe off course. If it’s too much used and/or the wrong type it depend on the amount and type of tape used but get it directly to a professional restorer to dismount, they will at least have the biggest chance of getting it of in one piece... my framer did a lot of the damage in a similar situation lately
