Questions & AnswersHi! My name is Sheryl with expertvillage.com and today we're mounting a photo. You could do a poster of any size. This could even be a map or any kind of paper that you really want to preserve. We're scoring it right now. It may take even 10 times. You don't want to press too terribly hard, but do it several times until this foam core starts to come off. Again, you just want to take it easy and just kind of press this. Once that side is done, you will take it off. You can kind of clean up the edges a little bit. If you feel like you've made a mistake or if there's this white border that's showing, you can go ahead and cut. If you didn't get close enough to the picture, you can go ahead and put the ruler over it one more time and make it a really nice clean finish.
