No pics makes this thread a whole lot less useful
Floating a Print
Luls. the original pics were for the Fairey peace series, which are just a bit bigger than the letterpresses. Ch1s appears to be semi-active here so hopefully he sees the request for reposting the pics or perhaps will even do a redo if necessary.

I originally did this post 9 years ago and have no idea where the photos are now. I'm guessing the links to the photos where broken when they upgraded this site. I'll redo the post the next time I'm floating a print. I've done a couple videos regarding the use of wheat paste. Perhaps I can try to do a video tutorial about floating a print.
The video below is an example of how wheat paste and Japanese mulberry paper are completely reversible. Using a moist Q-tip, tweezes and a surgical blade I remove a glued hinge. Once the hinge is removed the paper still appears to be flawless. There is no residual glue left behind and the paper is not marred or torn.

I found a way to see the images. you cannot click to expand, but still better than nothing

I’ve had this page bookmarked for a while since I have a few I need to do.
Got all the supplies (and I remember the helpful original posts here), just been too lazy with framing new stuff since it means I also have to reorganize the full walls lol.
