<p>[QUOTE="mirana, post: 9580381, member: 79705"]I'm always gonna say give it a rip. If it's a genuine painting they should have holes in the dust paper to breathe anyway. It's just to pretty up the back and keep dust off the inner frame. It's not integral to preservation. And it's easy to replace with a roll of craft paper and double sided tape: tape on edge of frame, paper larger than the frame laid down, press, and trim edges. You can gently use scissors but the professionals use a plain razor blade angled at the sides.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
