I have a 37 x 45 evergreen slug to mount. This one is signed by the actors. Currently others like it are selling on e-bay for about $200.

I don't want to dry mount it so I am considering what type of hinges to use.

The paper is the slick poster paper which is why I am wondering if rice paper and Nori paste will hold on the coated paper or what other product to use to make the hinges.

Suggestions? :help:

Thanks in advance
 
Am I the only one who doesn't have a clue as to what an evergreen slug is?
I was sure the question was going to be about an insect problem with the Nori paste. So, What is an evergreen slug? Nothing came up on ebay or google, so I was forced to expose my ignorance here among my peers.
Please educate me!

Ebay? Google? forget it! If you want to know something, search the Grumble. If you do, you will find that "evergreen slugs" are collectible movie posters. Duh!
 
Stick around, Sue, you’ll get use to the weirdness. :D

Large Movie Posters = Evergreen slugs

Fillets = Wreltneys

and the list goes on.
 
Well, I do read this often, but never saw the term before. Next time I will do the search here and not at the other sites!

Sue, so as not to veer off any further from the original topic, I've started a new thread, Grumble Dictionary

To answer the question : )

If you think wheat starch paste won't hold, you could try pressure sensitive tape made from acrylic emulsion Lascaux HV360 (available from Talas) and Japanese paper (something like medium weight minogami from Hiromi). Can't cut and paste addresses as got a new google bar from wretched Microsoft update and it won't let me do that grrrr...

Lay paper on polyethylene sheeting (hardware store) and brush with the Lascaux. Let dry overnight. If it is double sided and you want single sided tack you can cover one of the sticky sides with a bit of light weight tengujo Japanese tissue (also from Hiromi). If it is not tacky enough, brush a second coat of the Lascaux on and let dry overnight.

Cut what you need for job at hand and store the excess by laying a second sheet of polyethlyene over the top of the Lascauxed tissue to prevent it from drying out too much.
