Hi. I need some acrylic advise. I am framing a small (6x9") print on eastern paper (very delicate). The customer wants to float and space it and we just found out we need acrylic on it (as it will be shipped and the gallery requires it). My fear is that the acrylic's static charge will put a lot of stress on the paper and the hinges (by pulling the art towards it) and that shipping may make things worse. Does anyone have experience with this? I was thinking if I space if far enough away, maybe static won't be an issue (but I really can't do much more than 1" in the frame). Let me know if you have suggestions to make it work.

Thanks!
