Mounting on aluminum - fine art prints
We use 3m tape (3m VHB tape. We order from Uline cat # S-16123) for adhering the wood hangers to the back
We purchase the aluminum from Ventura Metals / VC metals. Aluminum type is 5052-H32. - 1560 Eastman Ave, Ventura, CA 93003 (805) 644-2100
The thickness of the aluminum is .055 which is the approx. thickness of a penny. It takes about 5 working days to get it. They only deliver on Tuesday & Thursday.
Is our Mounting Adhesive acid-free? Yes. We purchase 2 types of mounting adhesives from Coda and they are both acid-free, PH-neutral. (We cannot say that they are archival because that includes many more factors such as the ability to remove the print from the substrate and that is not possible. Our mounting adhesives are permanent.)
