Just back from the framers, love it!! Got them to make a matching frame for when I finally sort my act out and pick up a green Dirty Harry DB to sit side by side.
Nice Will! I also ripped Ves great idea! Its nice to know the posters are safe and not taped!! I notice if i put the poster in myler and then behind glass it can get double reflection. I am thinking to remove the glass so their is only reflection from the mylar. Let me know how you go!!
@Sven That was my only concern, but losing the glass will also lose the UV protection so I'll have to live with it or ditch the Mylar and tape the top two corners (obviously rather not do that)
Very true. Mind you i have only.done mylar and glass with lobby cards and they were a tight fit into the mylar which might have caused more rippling and reflection. I got my mylar daybill sleeves last week and am thinking with the extra space the mylar will be flat and hence less reflection.
From my research japanese paper hinges and starch are the best. I actually removed a lobby card from a frame that was hinged with this technique. All it took was a moist q tip to peel off the hinges. But i have to say making the hinges and starch paste and then applying the right amount , allowing the right time to dry before putting the hinges on the lobby card so not to cockle the paper was tricky .
Other than paper hinges the lineco gummed tape is very good. Its water activated.
Got Carry on Sergeant up, also added a mylar sleeve to Doctor in Trouble. As mentioned earlier there is a secondary reflection (hence why I haven't taken the picture square on and close up), but for now I think it's bearable, although I predict guests will ask "are they laminated?" a lot!
They're more colourful/brighter square on.
Also after my better half slacked off on her cleaning chores at the weekend, I was tempted to swap 'Trouble' for 'Dolittle' but don't fancy cooking all week so left as is!
Ps - those candles are battery powered before anyone comments.
Cheers, obviously not the best lighting. But it looks bloody heavy! So won't be using the track/drops for this one. Also with the amount of earth movement in Christchurch it'll likely need bolting into the wall.

Looks nice!

But more importantly, are you going to share the lollies with everyone?
Sweet Wil!
I wanna see what's in the piggy bank
As for those "lollies" had to google those as well!
Come up a treat, can't wait to see up on the wall!
Now that will be a centerpiece in the homestead! Wonderful!
