Hinge artwork into a mount

The term for fixing artwork into a mount using minimal adhesive is ‘hinging’. It’s the best method for original artwork on paper as it allows for expansion with variations in moisture levels. Using a water-activated gummed tape makes the process reversible, but self adhesive tapes are sometimes preferred where that’s not an issue. This video takes you through the steps.
