A customer brought in a "50th anniversary" Korean War knife. It has the leather sheath and is about 12" long. He wants it mounted to mat board with the knife blade out of the sheath (the blade has the inscription) and the butt of the knife in the end of the leather hasp of said sheath. This will angle the sheath down somewhat allowing the blade to be seen level. I'm thinking that my self stick velcro attached to the back of the sheath and a piece at the blade tip would be an attachment solution. I am worried however as to the effect of the selsticking velcro to the leather backing if it ever needed to come out of this shadowbox. Which brings me to a thought......you know how ads , etc. are attached to magazines with that rubbery, sticky, yet removable glue stuff??? What is that stuff....looks like it may have some use in framing!! Anyone have thoughts on my ...thoughts??? I'd like to get my hands on some of that neat glue....it kind of reminds me of rubber cement but I don't think that's it!
