Using foam-core boards is an inexpensive way to mount your photographs. Form core is available at your local craft store. For mounting photos, use a 3/16-inch-thick piece of foam core. According to EZPixels, the foam backing will not warp and is rigid enough so you can display your art without a frame. Purchase a board bigger than the picture you are mounting. It is easier to cut the form core to size after the picture is mounted than to place the photo exactly on a pre-cut board.
Instructions
1. Ball up the sheets of newspaper. Lay the photo image-side down on the paper. Spray both the back of the photo and the front of the foam board with the spray-on adhesive.
2. Place the photo on the foam board. Wearing gloves pick the photo up with your fingertips touching only the edges of the photo. You will not be able to reposition the photo once it is placed on the foam core. Try to line the picture's edge along the edge of the board.
3. Cover the photo with a sheet of blue non-stick paper. Using the roller brush, gently burnish the photo to remove any air bubbles. To burnish, run the roller over the photo.
4. Trim off excess foam core using the ruler and the utility knife. Line the ruler along the edge of the photo. Run the knife along the ruler through the foam board. Trim all sides as needed.
