I am asked to frame a stack of 8.5”x11” (approximately 1/4” thick) papers. Any suggestions on how to mount this to matting??
If that's the case:Right. It’s going all together as one stack behind the mat cut out. The cut out would basically be say 8”x10.5”. I guess I’ll get that book and research but how would I attach this to the backside of the mat cut out, and all together?
When you get the book, look up "Clear Film Book Mount". That technique is designed to mount a book using two sheets of clear polyester film (aka Mylar-D or Melinex 516), and it could work for this with slight modification.Right. It’s going all together as one stack behind the mat cut out. The cut out would basically be say 8”x10.5”.

That's what we call a sink mount and yes, it would work. However, the edges of the stack would not be visible, so it might look like a single piece of paper. The clear film mounts would enable you to float-mount the stack with good support, and all four sides would be visible....what about if I used foamcore and cut out the shape to fit the papers into and have the foamcore the exact same size as the inside of the frame so there would be no gravitational suspension? Basically the stack of papers would be inside the foamcore opening with another piece directly behind the papers securing it in place…
