Professional Tips
Expert advice for working with foam board mounting materials
Mounting Techniques
- •Always work on a clean, flat surface to prevent dents
- •For spray mounting, apply adhesive to foam board, not photo
- •Use a brayer or roller to eliminate air bubbles
- •Align photos carefully - repositioning can damage surface
- •Cut foam board before mounting to ensure clean edges
Storage & Handling
- •Store flat in a cool, dry place away from moisture
- •Keep boards in original packaging until use
- •Handle by edges to avoid denting or creasing surface
- •Use sharp blades when cutting to prevent tearing
- •Allow mounted pieces to cure flat for 24 hours
Pro Tip: Choosing the Right Type
Match your foam board color to your mat board color for professional results. White foam shows through light-colored mats, while black foam prevents unsightly white edges with dark mats.
For high-volume production work, self-adhesive boards can save significant time and eliminate mess from spray adhesives, making them worth the premium cost.
