Can you drymount a fuzzy velvet poster?

[Puppyraiser]

A customer brought in one of those color-in-the-white-places "velvet" posters. Do I dare drymount it? I worry about
a) the pressure... will it spoil the effect?
b) the slight warpage from the water-based markers that it was colored with
c) the adhesive that holds the "velvet" in place... how heat sensitive would that be?

What say ye?

You could pick one up, color it in and try it. They are pretty cheap.

Couldnt you pin it or lace it? Is paper involved?

I wouldn't apply heat to fabric with any sort of nap or anything which is in layers.

Much safer to use a good spray-on adhesive or a re-positionable sticky board. With any of these laminated artworks there is also a risk that if the layers are coming apart you will not get a good result as you are only sticking the bottom level.

Sooner you than me doing this job.

The velvet causes a mess.
