A customer brought in a a child's painting done on a piece of masonite and is about 6"x8". It's shape isn't quite square. The top and bottom are somewhat parallel but the sides are rough and not parallel. It looks like her child got a piece of scrap masonite in class and used it for this. She doesn't want any of it covered and wants to put it in a frame glued to a piece of mat with about a 2" border on each side. When she brought this in she knew exactly what she wanted.
My only real question is gluing the masonite to the mat. This is the type of masonite that doesn't have a smooth back side. It's a rough textured surface. I'm thinking that I should sand the back side so the the texture is smooth (the cutomer has no problem with this and it would take me about 1 minute with my 24" Delta Belt Sanding Station), but I don't know what kind of glue to use for this. The piece is seems too heavy for ATG and I don't know about using epoxy or other glue to bond these two disparate surfaces.
Any suggestions; either on the glue to use or on sanding the back smooth? Thanks.
