I have already done a search, but I am looking for simple, clear directions on the best way to splice two matboards together. This is a background for a hockey jersey, so I think we can hide most of the splice. I just need some advice on how to go about joining the two matboards together in the best possible (and easiest) way. Thank you grumblers...
how to splice matboard
- Thread starter schnoubi
- Start date
When I splice mats, I cut one with the bevel and one with a reverse bevel so that they overlap, and then I glue/drymount them onto a large piece of foamcore or gatorboard (depending on the weight) If I use white glue (acid free) I weight them down with a piece of scrap plexi (I have just for that purpose) with glass boxes on top and I let it sit overnight.
The best way of course is to wrap the mats with fabric instead of splicing, but not all customers want to pay that price.

Read Preservator's method from a previous post. The directions are simple and clear . . . it works!http://www.thegrumble.com/cgibin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=1;t=009027
Sorry, this might work better!
