HANGING MECHANICS
zbar/cleet mechanics are the preferred method of hanging as it is more secure and artwork will remain level and hang flush with the wall surface. |
|
|
| |
|
SPACER
The print should not be directly in contact with the glass as condensation, dirt, dust, and tiny particles can be trapped and damage to the work of art. We recommend a 1/4:” depth. Spacer should be made of Sintra or Conservation museum board or comparable material. |
