Remember last week Proulx Brothers<\/a> asked me to try their Eco Core 3 <\/a>product for mounting photos?<\/p>\n

Well, I got spare time this morning and gave it a try. Now, I was never good at cut-and-paste and I get very squirrelly when doing precision work with fine elements… but this turned out quite well!<\/p>\n

Preparation<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

I trimmed the print to be mounted on the eco friendly core backboard. It took a few slices to get the print just right. I then peeled the paper off the pre glued backboard and took a few deep breaths. (Photos below)<\/p>\n

Mounting<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

The hardest part was lining the print up with the backboard – ’cause once it is stuck, it’s stuck! I took some care and managed to get it lined up pretty well – I was less than a milimetre off in one direction.<\/p>\n

Suggestions if you try…
\n<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

When I do it again I will trim the print to a greater than needed size and trim excess with a sharp knife after it is glued. Doing all this on a backlit lightbox will help, too.<\/p>\n

So, it went well – and I would do it again for photos where I need a quick, easy and effective mounting.<\/p>\n

Thanks Proulx<\/a>.<\/p>\n

See the steps below – shot quickly, hand-held.<\/p>\n
