I am currently working on a hockey jersey shadow box for a customer. She mentioned another project that eventually she and her fiance want to get done. Her fiance has collected many hockey pucks that he'd like to display in a locked shadow box. He also wants to be able to switch out the old pucks when he gets new ones to display. So, the pucks need to be mounted in a way that they can be easily changed but would hold the puck securely in place (that rules out using tulle, I would think).
I searched the archives on mounting hockey pucks and found a reference to Pro-Molddirect.com, which makes round puck holders. This might be a possibility, but I'm not sure how easily it would be to remove the puck from the holder as it looks like it is in there pretty tight. Also, any suggestions on how to mount the holder?
Another possibility that I was thinking about is using steel rods covered with black matte shrink tubing. I'm just not sure how many supports would be needed for each puck and where the supports should be placed so that the puck could be easily removed. I'm also wondering if the shrink tubing would wear thin if the puck is replaced multi times.
As for the mounting board, would coroplast be strong enough to support the weight of hockey pucks? Not sure yet how many they want to display in one shadow box (my customer said that her fiance has well over a hundred pucks, but he would choose which ones that he wanted to display).
I would appreciate any comments or other suggestions on mounting methods. Thanks.
