Linen Hinging Tape - Self-Adhesive Hinging Tape for Prints Matte Frames, Artwork Matting - Acid Free 1.25inch x 35ft

Worked as intended! Used it for connecting double matting. Strong stuff. Easy to work with. Wish it came with more.

This is perfect for taping artwork to a backer board and then placing a mat board over it for framing. It is archival, so it will protect your artwork and keep it from yellowing where the tape is.

When you have an antique water color you need to be able to hinge it to a acid free backer board.

This is the tape I use to matte all my small prints from 4×6in to 11×14in. It's great, super clean, acid free, easy to use tape that doesn't damage my prints. However, you would definitely need a different tape than this one to hinge any print that had more weight to it because it does *not* tape very strong. I tried to hinge a 16×20 original watercolor painting made on 300lb Arches paper to a 20×24in matte, and it simply would not stick strong enough to stay up more than a few minutes. But as a tape for light, small works, it's great.

I am a novice but works well and easy to use!

Good product for the money, but there is next to no adhesive. I apply it overlapped, side-by-side, or singly, but I can just brush my hand over it after rubbing it down and it will pop loose with no trouble. If I were to use it to clean off dirt, it still wouldn't hold anything.Last week I had an emergency job where I needed to use a special dye to color it black. When the dye had set, the adhesive was completely gone and the dye had faded to gray. I was out of time, so I had to use pva glue. And even that didn't hold.

It is basically a linen strip with a single tacky side intended to be applied on flat surfaces and concealed by a mat. Good quality, it just didn’t suit my purpose.

This is one of those things that you don't know that you need until you need it. ;)
