help me mount my posters

Guys

I have x3 posters for my cinema room.I am concentrating on reducing reflections so i do not want to mount them with a frame and glass.

So I was thinking.............could'nt I just mount them on say thin ply board using some sort of paste?? (What sort do you think??)

This way i can then just drill through each corner, put caps over the screws and there we have it.

Any idea's chaps around my suggestion is appreciated.

Thanks

Dave

Hi Dave

Shop about mate and its not dear

I think this is the stuff Al is on about, nice and cheap as well considering you get 5 sheets...

Re: help me mount my posters

I had my cinema posters mounted on ply which was mounted on a 1" wood frame to add some depth. Paint the frame matt black (or something that suits the colour of the poster background, mine was black) and hang as you would a normal framed piccy.
You can use wallpaper paste or PVA glue to mount the poster to the board.

Re: help me mount my posters

I want to mount it on the ply with no glass at all.The reflective glass still produces a sheen.I think I prefer the fact that the posters will be out in the open but do we think wall paper paste on ply will be ok??????
