FAQs

Are these mounting corners acid-free?

Yes, Lineco polypropylene mounting corners are free of harmful chemicals and suitable for archival purposes.

What is the adhesive type?

They feature a pressure-sensitive, non-yellowing acrylic adhesive.

How large are these mounting corners?

Each corner measures 3.2cm (1.25 inches).

How many corners are in a pack?

Each pack contains 48 mounting corners.

Can I reposition the corner after applying it?

The adhesive is strong pressure-sensitive. While some minor adjustments might be possible immediately after placement with care, repeated repositioning can weaken the adhesive and damage the artwork or surface.

Are these suitable for framing valuable artwork?

Yes, their archival quality and strong, non-yellowing adhesive make them suitable for framing valuable artwork when used correctly.

What kind of artwork can I mount with these?

They are ideal for mounting photographs, prints, documents, and heavier artworks onto backing boards or mat boards.

Troubleshooting

Adhesive not sticking well

Ensure both the artwork and the surface are clean, dry, and free of dust or oils. Apply firm, even pressure to the corner after placement.

Corner is yellowing over time

These corners are designed to be non-yellowing. If yellowing occurs, it may be due to environmental factors or contact with a non-archival material. Ensure all materials in contact with the artwork are acid-free.

Difficulty peeling corners cleanly

Use a clean, dry fingernail or a thin, non-metallic tool to gently lift the corner from the backing sheet. Avoid bending or creasing the corner.

  • Durable construction offers long-term use.
  • Pack of 48 provides good value for frequent users.
  • Suitable for heavier or larger artworks.

Cons

  • Size may be too large for very small or delicate items.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the artwork and the mounting surface (e.g., backing board) are clean and free of dust.
  2. Gently peel one corner from the sheet.
  3. Position the corner over the edge of your artwork, ensuring it overlaps sufficiently to adhere to both the artwork and the backing.
  4. Apply firm, even pressure to secure the adhesive.
  5. Repeat for all four corners of the artwork.

Compatibility:

These corners are compatible with a wide range of paper-based artworks, including photographs, prints, drawings, and documents. They adhere well to standard mounting boards, mat boards, and other rigid substrates. They are suitable for use in framing and display applications where archival quality is desired.

Care:

  • Store unused corners in their original packaging in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
  • Avoid touching the adhesive side to prevent contamination and loss of tack.
  • Once applied, the corners require no ongoing maintenance. Their chemical composition is designed for long-term stability.
