Just wondering... (since I have heard a few different answers to this question) When you are fitting a frame job, do you use tape on the points/nails to either keep them in place, or give a nice clean look (if the paper tears) on the back?
I was taught to use "Framers' Tape" and had reciently had the chance to reopen one of my own frame jobs... yuck!
Since then I have not taped the points on ANY of my jobs. The tape had dried out, and was starting to shed dry adheasive. It also left a yellow acid burn where the tape had been on the back of the Art Care Foam Core. So much for the Framer's Tape being Acid Free!
So... If you do tape your points, what kind of tape? If not, why?
