Mounting A Poster Diy Clear Away From The Wall

If the poster is tightly rolled temporarily hold it down with a few strips of scotch tape.

Mounting a poster diy clear away from the wall.

Drill a hole through the tape at each wall hanger marking using a drill bit one size smaller than the wall anchor. Drill at that spot about halfway through the depth of the wood block. Step 3 sand the cut edges of the wood block to smooth. You want the poster and the plywood to stick to each other but not to the paper.

Spray the back of the poster and the good face of the plywood with the adhesive. If your photos are still a little curved instead of flat it s a good idea to apply a second row of adhesive all the way around the edges. Apply adhesive all the way around the edges as close to the edge as possible. Lay out your poster and foamcore on newspaper.

Mount your poster with mod podge on blank canvas. You could use duct tape. To mount a print place it face down on a clean surface. Because dry mounting is permanent in nearly all cases you need to be certain that you like the appearance of the backing you select.

Always test a small spot on the poster first to make sure the ink won. It should be barely tacky. Or you could use staples nails or tacks. Insert a drywall anchor into each hole lightly tapping it with a hammer until.

Thoroughly spray the foamcore with adhesive. Use multiple binder clips to hold posters and photo enlargements or smaller prints like postcards from their edges. Spray the back of the poster only if the adhesive manufacturer recommends that both surfaces be coated. Visit a local art supply store to see the types of backing that are available or make your own with thin sheets of wood or plastic.

Mark a spot at the center of the back side of the block toward the top about 2 inches from the top edge for a standard sized poster if you intend to hand the poster on the wall. Leave to dry for 10 minutes. You can hang them from lines hooks and screws against or away from walls. Nobody wants ripped posters and paint being peeled off either.
