<p>[QUOTE="mirana, post: 9873985, member: 79705"]Just a note that there are two types of foam core. The type sold in many art stores is NOT acid free. You usually have to get that in a frame shop. May be different where you are, but you should read the labels or ask. Acid-free is usually matte on both sides, and non is glossy.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you go to a frame shop, you can also ask them about their services and if they have a dry mount or heated press table. It's usually used for adhering things, but you can absolutely use it just to press artwork flat. It's AJs suggestion, but a large "iron" all in one go. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/wink.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=";)" unselectable="on" /> I've done this often and it always works to relax and press fibers.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
