Cutting the mat board requires a tape measure, a flat edge and an exacto knife. The thing I had to learn is how to attach the bond to the mat board, without damaging the bond, and without making removal a damage-guaranteed proposition. two-sided tape is a no no. lady art art supply store showed me how to use gummed linen tape. works like a charm. to remove the tape from the bond, simply apply a wet q-tip to the linen tape adhered to the bond, and the moisture will cause the tape to release. no stain, no tears, and the moisture will dry pretty quickly.</p><p><br /></p><p>Selling....hmmmm.
