Bought as custom fram for an old map. Didnt know frame was meant for a canvas with wood frame. Will glue work?
Hello, as title says I bought a custom aluminum frame to fit this old map and I have two problems... The map is skinnier than a canvas on wood frame would be. The frame came with brackets that are supposed to screw into the wood. The map is made of carboard or whatever old maps are made of and it wont hold the screws. I am thinking the map is not that heavy and some strong glue would hold it in the frame. I am worried about destoying my map. I am wondering what type glue would be best, im thinking epoxy, and also will the glue not hold and just destroy and rip of the back edges of my map? Please advise and thank for your help. submitted by /u/48packet [link] [comments]
