Watch Doug as he shows us the proper way to mat our prints for the upcoming Level 5 photography contest.

Dip the whole thing in Elmer's. Got it.

gloves when handling the prints?

[@fludrbywest3886]

Not to sure why you wouldn’t mount this as you would mount an archival mount ? Especially if it is in a competition? I’m missing something😔

[@cedricvoglet4675]

No offense but after hearing you criticizing some mounts I would have expected something way better than this horrible mounting.

Why the negative comments, today I have mounted five prints using this method, not for competition, these are for selling in a shop, not framed but on a shelf so people can brows and buy and get them framed themselves, they are all in seperate plastic bags, this method makes sure they will be OK if handled a lot, folding ones might not do so well, thanks for this.

Let us know what shop, so we know where not to go.

I am in agreement with ALL of the negative comments.

What kinda of competition are you prepping for, nothing in this video was right, from taping to the window mat, to sealing the damn image with tape .... this should be a video about what not to do...!

[@havocproltd]

im serious! I'm aghast! I do everything in the process of getting my view from the camera to the cash register! I had to quit about halfway.

[@jerrywoods2740]

thought your art/photo needs to breath taping only on top.?

[@MyVantasticLifeVoyage]

jerry woods you’re correct. He did this completely wrong.

[@JimManternach]

How to mat a print to make sure it buckles and bulges. This is atrocious! Exactly the WRONG way to mount a print in a window mat!

[@bretaguilar153]

This is terrible advice. DO NOT DO THIS.

You have students??? I feel for them. Amateur.
