Collage Work Surface: Tape Board to Working Surface

So, after you've finished off taping off you edges of your boarder with your artiest tape or painters tape. You can just specifically use that if it's easier. I tend to like to tape my board actually down onto my working surface and the reason for this is. Is it stabilizes the working surface. So you sort of feel like it's a little sturdier and stronger. So I had a couple edges that had some extra tape on them and then tend to go around with my painters tape and adhere the actual whole illustration or mat board. Down to your working surface again this keeps things more stabilized. When your working on it. It's easier to put it away that way. Especially when it's drying because there is a lot of drying time that your going to be working with as your moving along. So this is something you can do fairly simply and a more efficient way of working. With keeping your surface clean as well as stable and you don't need to use actually too much tape. But just enough to make all the edges stick down. So that it's strong. When you lift up your board it wont fall off.
