Question Mounting a very thin Japanese silk fabric

[edwardwayne]

I have a bolt of Japanese silk fabric, 18" wide and to be cut in length as the customer desires. How should I mount this: To foamcore or what and how?

There is a low temp adhesive coated foam core that is completely reversible. I find it really good for this sort of stuff.
I did a silk scarf with this and after taking it out of the press, noticed it had moved out of square a bit so i lifted it off and reset it and put it back in.

My question is to whether the customer wants it reversible or if it doesn't matter.

So, basically dry mounting in a heat presswith low temp adhesive will work.

What did YOU think of how to do it?

Is the foam core you used Kool Tack, or some other kind?
