8x10 Framing Question

I am finally going to start framing some of my signed 8x10's and putting them up in the basement. My question is what do you guys use to attach the photo to the mat? I usually get stuff framed at Hobby Lobby and they just use Scotch tape. Is that my only option or is there something else I should use for collectables?

  • I use acid free scrap booking tape. Works great.

    If you are going to frame behind a mat, you can use acid free photo squares. Packs of 100 are around $6 at Aaron Brothers.

    Thanks guys! I was able to get some acid free tape at Hobby Lobby this weekend. I'll look for the photo squares as well.

  • don't forget to use spacers or a mat. Your autographed piece shouldn't touch the glass.

    Correct it was on Saturday. I find it annoying because Sunday is the easiest day for me to get there yet they are closed!
