With the majority of our renovations complete, I've started an interest in collecting and framing art. My first big project - original vintage (I think I can say that now) movie poster art.
After some reading, I concluded it would be a damaging to my authentic movie posters to frame up using traditional backing methods. Let's start with the results,
, so I went with Anti-UV, Anti Glare, extra clear glass.Here is how it looks after linen backing. It's actually quite thick,
this is who I ended up going with and also used the shrink wrap for another poster to keep before framing).I did not go with this, but for those interested here's my research,
Here are things to check with your framer,
As these posters are quite large it is very important to hang them properly to not buckle over time,
Most of my other projects I've used the 3M Command Strips. However here, it did not work because the edges of the 3M strips would show.
So instead, it was putting up one nail, help with the wife to confirm it was straight, and and lots of careful measurements with painters tape to confirm relativity.
If you want to use below 3M Command Strips you have to consider measurements and placement of the D-Rings with the width of the 3M Command Strips
3M Command Strips are the best thing since sliced bread to hanging art.
Weigh you Poster with Frame - step on a digital scale without hold the poster and then again with it. Mine came out to 17.5lbs.
Based on weight use the appropriate 3M Command Strip Wire Back Picture Hangers to place your poster,
In my case, I exceed the limit. It's probably fine, but to be extra safe, once I am happy with the location, follow-up with screwing in the 3M hanger directly to the wall.
