There is quite a lot of material on mounting works of art and it can be quite confusing. Let me start with this article I posted on securing pastels (among other conservation concerns) to a substrate to minimize the damage from movement: http://www.bmi.net/knapp/iapsmerrill.html

Followed by an article refering to THAT article by the Connecticut Pastel Society: http://ctpastelsociety?usefullinks?html

Add to that: http??www.nybooks.com/articles/6051

I cannot for the life of me get the URL of Talas to work. It is a conservators supplier of tapes adhesives etc. . It discusses and sells Beva products. Do a search tor Talas on Google and click on the site and then click on adhesives.

Ah, more light bedtime reading I see. Seriously, thanks for the links - it seems conservation is near and dear to your heart. I had problems with some of the links however. The first one is simply www.bmi.net..., the second and fourth links I'm not sure about?

[QUOTE=Holly Snyder]Ah, more light bedtime reading I see.

Ah yes. Better than bodice rippers.

I am a computer neophyte. I have not learned all the cutting and pasting and have to write all the URLS by hand and I always miss a dot or two.

I fixed the first URL, so the rest of the post may seem clearer.

The Connecticut Pastel Society has a link to a panel maker that has a reversible heat activated glue on it. I was curious as to what that might be and I found a discussion of Beva and a website that explains and sells it.
