(Quote) Some before & after pics would be nice to see.

Just build several frames and the whole staples driving into metal won’t be an issue. Maybe after 50 poster on a single frame….I just take 10 mins and remove most of my staples….

I remember spending hours just looking at all the poster mountain blog images to get clues as to what they do.

Masa vs. Mulberry…🤔. Masa is heavier than Mulberry, which I believe is 55gsm’s? So I would guess Masa, although I’ve never worked with Mulberry-I’d take Charlie’s word for it when he said he’d paperback everything with Mulberry if he were still back…

(Quote) agree; video's and reading only get you so far before you have to dive in; as the saying goes, Experience is the teacher. But then you will need helpful hints along the way to learn those practices that respond to the paper your worki…

holes or missing paper can be filled with either similar pieces of paper which are glued in place or you can use a methylcellulose mixture to infill, sand then paint/pencil color over to match.

if your poster is face down on the mylar after a washing and you only place adhesive on the back of the poster not sure how you get adhesive on top of your poster after you lay the poster down and remove the mylar? other than a small amount if it ha…
-
the amount of adhesive you use should be just a very thin layer; it shouldn't "gue" out of a rip or tear; if it does i'd think your using too much. If it does, i'd use a damp paper towel to gently soak up the excess; no "wiping" the poster; no Poste…

Wheat starch adhesive recipe is found on the Talas supply website for buying the uncooked wheat starch. Its a 4/1 ration of water to wheat starch; one cup goes a long way. Mix in a bowl, let set for an hour to allow the wheat starch to soak into the…

I’ll post pictures of what I use when I get home-Thurs look a little long. Yes-hand staple gun is what I use.

First off, great results! with the exception of the wrinkles, looks like you laid it down nicely! Big step forward!

I would suggest a brayer to ensure the holytex and then mulberry/masa are smooth with no creases. Same with linenbacking; again, rolling the holytex or masa from the middle to the edges, moving around the poster in a circular fashion.

Can’t imagine a “special glue agent”…. 🤦♂️ smoke and mirrors?….
In all his videos I’ve seen-I’ve never seen him deacidify or bleach a poster. He just lays them down dry most of the time.
Couldn’t guess what he uses.
I think Charlie used an old dresser drawer and put a shower liner in it and made a drain with plug. I bought mine off of University Supplies? For my one sheets and I think it was over $170. Washing machine overflow pan are large but too shallow.picts will certainly help.
will comment on a few items that seem inconsistent with getting a paperbacking LC flat or Insert.
-after glueing the H-tex and then the Masa or Mulberry, i would use a brayer to smooth/flatten the fabric/paper …I havent paperbacked anything in a while, but seeing your work Charlie makes me think i should try a few next time back something. Those Eastwood's are sweet.here's a great resource that Charlie directed me to. And although i got much of my information shorthand from Charlie who did most of the legwork on the other site back in 2012? I printed and read quite a few chapters on areas including: · in Bleach Solution Formula for Posters Needed Comment by Eisenhower April 2022CQ--In regards to your 1-4 questions.
1) I deacid my posters in a tray so they take a bath of about 20+ mins depending on the paper/country/need to remove acids. They go in sandwhiched between mylar but float free. If you deacidifying in betwe…Although I have a small pallet knife which I sometimes use for mixing of methyl cellulose or something else, the cake palette knife has rounded edges and it’s longer to get underneath the Holly text to remove it.Is your mylar glued to the table?
So you placed adhesive on the poster, then laid the mulberry on top? I would imagine as soon as the mulberry hit the wet poster/glue it began to soak it up and lay down unevely, especially if you were la…Look forward to the journey!
