    Does anybody know where you can buy single sheets of Foam Board or Mounting Board in diff sizes?
    I have tried some of the craft shops and they have foam board with not self adhesive.
    Thanks

    e very very careful with self adhesive stuff, its designed to go through a cold press laminator to activate the glue, and doing it by hand with a roller generally gives inconsistent pressure, and generally the prints will bubble ecause of that

    i can supply sheets in various sizes etc, but like i say i would be careful

    if its to be used as backing for a mount your better off hinge mounting the print, less chance of something going wrong then

    Thank you for your advice. Much appreciated. What does hinge mounting mean?

    the print is hinged from the top of the mount, if you google hinge mounting photographs you will find some tutorials on youtube etc

    If it’s a cheap job or just something temporary a tin of spray mount will do the job. If it’s important hinge mounting on an acid free board is the way to go. A recent post in this board discusses the suppliers.

    spray mount has NO place in a photographers arsenal of any kind

    its expensive, its not permanent, its toxic and does a shite job :-))

    if you wan something cheap and cheerful job, just use watered down PVA glue, let it go tacky and then use a roller to press down
