Ok, forgive the terrible pun/homonym joke for the title. It made me laugh. Anyway, this week's post is about a 16-sheet magic poster for one of our favorite clients. The poster had been previously backed on craft paper and this backing was starting to come apart, so we re-lined it. Re-lining means removing the old lining before we adhere the poster to a new lining. One thing to note is that paper loss while removing an old lining is an unavoidable part of the process. We take steps to minimize the amount lost, but it is still something that we consider and discuss with clients each time we take on a demount project like this. The old lining on this poster came off with relative ease and minimal paper loss, although there were still visible losses. The pieces were left to dry while the team began the process of stretching the linen and gluing the masa to that linen for the new backing. When we re-line large format posters like this we build a frame on the largest wall
