Had to open a framed package today to remove photos to have copies made. It was framed aprox. 20 years ago. Original frame shop sticker on it.
The original double mat had been taped to the rabbet of the frame with what looks like masking tape and has since aged to leave that lovely sticky masking tape residue. Then glazer points were shot through the tape into the frame.
Do I need to be concerned about the remaining masking tape and sticky residue causing further damage? Can it be removed or do new mats need to be cut?
Nothing was to be done to the package except remove the photos, make copies and frame those for the customer's kids, reclose the package.
Should I tell the customer?
