Sorry Gwyn, can't help that, but definately worth downloading the viewer as Peter suggested as the information is spot on.

In a nutshell:

Tape window mount to an under mount to create a clip / book mount

T-hinge art work to under mount

Avoid Sellotape, masking tape, parcel tape and spray adhesive like the plague!

Guessing you would like an image, I'll do one on one of today's jobs later!

That's OK Danny, I'll get his nibs to open it for me on his computer later. Being a technonerd he loves Powerpoint .

I always used a Scotch ATG Gun for mounting photos in frames
and prints in wedding albums etc. Just one piece about 3-4inch long
close to the top of the print, which might have been dry-mounted
to a thin piece of card first to keep it flat.

It shows how to use it at the end of this video..
