[pure-silver] Re: framing with framespace


<x-tad-bigger> I have 2 framed photocollages (no mats) where I used plexi & spacemaker, one piece 23 x 32, the other 45x45, I haven't noticed much bowing.  Would you choose glass instead for pieces this large?  Seems it would make them unbelievably heavy & vulnerable to breakage during transport for exhibition.</x-tad-bigger>

Right, even for a small piece I prefer plexi. In this case I will be shipping the piece and it's for a child's room, so I think plexi is safer.
