T O P I C R E V I E WSpaceAholicHow are collectors who are mounting their space patches on a display but also want to prevent permanent damage (i.e. from the use of adhesives, pins, etc.) affixing them to boards?LiemboWhat are the long term issues with fugitive glue / /"booger" glue dots? I can't seem to determine if they're safe for archival purposes. Cozmosis22Maybe place the patch inside a small clear protective sleeve and then attach that to your display board?Jim BehlingI use hem tape and have no issues with residue.SpaceAholic quote:Originally posted by Liembo:What are the long term issues with fugitive glue / /"booger" glue dots? Possibly acidic. kosmoUse a tag gun and short tagging barbs, you only need to use a few to secure the patch to a backing and they won't hurt anything.SpaceAholicGreat recommendation for a soft backing. And for affixing to solid structure like wood?kosmoThe tagging needles will actually pierce archival matting board. You could mount the patch on matting board, cut to the appropriate shape/size and then mount it on the display. SpaceAholicExcellent, thanks.
