How to Cut Edges for Poster Mounting: Part 2

Hi! My name is Sheryl with expertvillage.com and today we're mounting a poster. The first time I cut this, there was still a little bit of the foam core showing. I went ahead using the ruler, this nice heavy ruler, I put it just a teeny bit in and I did it again. If you end up taking off a little bit of the picture, it's alright. If you didn't quite get it right the first time, you can go ahead and take it in a teeny bit further. Then when that happens, just go ahead and rip that off. I have turned the foam core a little bit, so I am now going to cut the next edge. You're going to do this on every single edge. This time, I'm going to go ahead and lay this on the picture just a little bit now that I saw how that happen on the last one. Again, you want to be careful and keep your fingers out of the way so you don't accidently cut yourself. Again, we're just going to score this nice and easy. It may take several times, maybe 10 times, to just keep going over this. Each time you score it, it'll go in a little bit deeper and pretty soon, you'll have nice clean edge.
