Hello,
I’m working on a project that is not using a frame. The textile is placed in a thin acrylic box (DCO mounted). Sides and backing are also acrylic which I weld using a solvent. I hope to tightly fit the textile in this ‘box’,
My question is, can I use thick non conservation corrugated plastic if it’s not directly touching the textile? Basically the works are large and non conservation has thicker options and is obviously a lot cheaper!
I’m also not 100% sure on what firm backing to use for the DCO?
I’ve done a terrible drawing to show my layers:
1. Acrylic (3mm framing acrylic)
2. Textile (dco)
3. Layers of polyester wadding
4. Firm acid free backing ( what would you suggested for this?)
5. 10mm thick non conservation corrugated plastic sheet. (Possible might use two layers)
6. Acrylic (3mm as backing)
I should add that I’m not sure if I’ll be able to pack it all in firmly enough, might need a different backing. This is a bit of an experiment!
Many thanks
