Hi Everyone!
I have some large panoramic prints to frame (52" x20"). The frames were already made by someone else, and they made them smaller than they should have. This leaves only about 1 1/2" for the mat. My thought... use acid free foam board beveled, wrapped with fabric. My question... does it have to be a full piece of foam board, or can I use strips for the 4 sides? How about splicing in the middle of a side...will that show? (I don't have oversized foam board, and they won't fit in my mat cutter) Also, what thickness of acrylic do you recommend for this size, 1/8 ... 3/16 ?
Thanks everyone! Kari
