I'm pretty sure how I'm going to mount this page of Gregorian chant and prose. Just wanted some reassurance, I guess. I have taken a quick look in a search but most of the info concerns pressing or float mounting.
My customer has given me latitude in what needs to be done for this with the request that it be viewable from both sides since he will be giving talks on this after he translates and dates this page of Illumination. We are using UV Denglas on both sides unless someone has other suggestions. He wants the clarity or else I would us UV NG acrylic on the back.
I plan to make a "tray" type mount to secure the page on all sides and use no adhesive directly on the parchment. I can't see that the tray mount would be any more restricting than the mats surrounding the parchment. I do have at least an inch on all sides for this.
We have two 8-ply mats for the face side and one or two for the back if there is room in the frame. Finishing the back of the frame has been figured out using a wide flat gold fillet back to back from Larson.
Whatever I come up with, this one has to be done correctly. Thanks for any advice.
