Q1 : How is my plexi face mount made?
- First a sheet of plexiglass and a sheet of aluminium are cut to fit your print
- A piece of transparent mounting tissue is placed between the print and the aluminium backing. This "sandwich" passes through the cold press, which forms an adhesive bond. (Sometimes the aluminium will have an adhesive attached, which eliminates the need for the tissue.)
- The same process is followed to affix the plexiglass to the front of the print.
- Once the pieces are fused together, a custom size, heavy-duty hanging system is attached to the aluminium backing. This rectangular frame sits in from the edges of the face mount, creating a "floating" effect. The plexi face mount is hung on the wall using only a nail or two.
