Question: What kind of surface do you prefer for mounting your 140 lb. arches coldpress paper when framing it unglazed and varnished only?
Eric: Masonite and plexiglass both work, but I prefer mounting the watercolor paper on a stretched cotton canvas. It is lighter and has a nice springy feel to it. The lighter weight is especially helpful when it comes to the larger pieces.
We use Neutral PH Adhesive to mount the painting to the canvas. Lineco is one of the companies that makes this archival product.
