Mary Doo Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 <p>I have several large frameless images mounted on rigid white Styrene boards that are 2mm thick. The back of the mount is smooth, with no provision for hanging.</p> <p>How do people normally hang these mounts on the wall? What is the "professional" way to do this?</p> <p>Thanks in advance.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danny_wong2 Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 <p>There are glue pads with hooks that are wet-to-stick or peel off to expose the adhesive. They are sold in hardward stores or home depot, lowes etc.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve_swinehart Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 <p>Swiss clips are the best answer. They are specifically made for hanging unframed prints.</p> <p>You can see how they attach here: <a href="http://www.dickblick.com/products/swiss-clips/?wmcp=yahoo&wmcid=SiteSubmitProducts&wmckw=Swiss+Clips">http://www.dickblick.com/products/swiss-clips/?wmcp=yahoo&wmcid=SiteSubmitProducts&wmckw=Swiss+Clips</a></p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
william grulkey Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 <p>I think you are referring to Sintra, because foamcore is thicker than 2 mm. Go to a frame store and get the saw-tooth adhesive hangers usually used on foamcore (not the metal ones). These have an adhesive section and a hanger above. I would use two if your photos are large because Sintra is heavy.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mary Doo Posted June 23, 2009 Author Share Posted June 23, 2009 <p>OK - Mission accomplished! I checked out every one of you sugggestions and ended up using a combination of Double sided foam tape (3M Heavy Duty) on ring hooks. The Swiss clips are pretty; hwvr, I preferred nothing showing on the sides.</p> <p>William, Sintra seems to be much more costly than Styrene, but the two do look similar. I wonder what the differences are.</p> <p>Thank you all.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
