[QUOTE="research, post: 9505374, member: 22667"]Thanks so much! That makes sense It's a bit of an odd size, roughly 24x48". I was hesitant of a pressure mount due to humidity as well. Is there a way to minimize the possible humidity issues with this method? I like the idea of a friction type mount, might think on that a bit. I was wondering if there was an in between. What about having small pieces or a strip of acrylic or even foam core, etc. around the edges of the flags that apply pressure to the backing similar to a mat? I do not want the mat look so I'd probably have to get creative. My main concern is storing the flag archivally while being able to still view it. I don't care as much about how it looks necessarily (meaning, it doesn't have to be a "pretty" frame job) Stitching a one of a kind piece seems daunting to me. I just don't know if I can feel good about putting holes in it, even if they are small[/QUOTE]
