Mounting drawings

[Mike McCarty]

One method that I have used involves placing a specialized (treated) paper between the artwork and an archival foam board. I believe the sandwich is then heated which permanently adheres the paper to the board. My framer back in Okla. did this for me and I have found that the Art supply store here in Sarasota also provides the service. I've had good luck with this process and it appears to be very permanent. I think it's called dry mount. I usually do it before hand to provide a rigid support that will allow me to place the board on my easel.

Come to think of it, I don't know that I have ever gone through this process after the art has been made. Hmmm .. Maybe someone else has.
