So I have not many but a few signed slips that came with the last two albums and of different sizes. I know there are commercial products from all different companies and so on but I'm not used to doing this where I would like to also include matting so that I can offset from smushing the autograph into direct contact with the glass or plexiglass with the matting. I'm used to framing my own family photos which don't need such a thing and make it more affordable for me with one of those do-it-yourself measure order the parts and they call it glazing I understand for the plexiglass or glass part. Groovy but. With autograph stuff there's the extra complication I wish I knew this before but I have some unfriend now where to protect the autograph from pressing and potentially rubbing against the glazing one uses matting. The downside is I'm woefully inept at any sort of capacity as far as I know we can think of with what I got at hand to cut matting in nice neat measured even size to just and only just cover the amount needed of the sign slip whether CD size or vinyl album sized or the album itself. And I think technically it's recommended to put matting underneath it which of course would not have the cutout to show the autographed item. I understand one could order them adding but I have no idea how to cut it. Alternatively I don't mind buying the pre-made products that I just have to assemble for cost since going to a professional frame or is usually astronomically more. Does anyone know of a way to purchase and cut your own matting with high precision so it doesn't look like it's cockeyed or at an angle after going to all the trouble from a place that has and I must insist on for my purposes acid free matting and backing board and backing matting? I'm guessing I'm not the only one here who takes framing of our autographed stuff seriously but without the budget to constantly get a professionally done. That's why I like doing things like I think it's called picture frames.com or other stuff but even that adds up the cost enormously so I'm wondering if there's a way to get stuff to cut the matting my cells if anyone knows what I'm talking about and could PM me about this I'll be most appreciative it's not just one or two things I have I have it from other favorite bands. Thank you for any help and if nothing else for reading this post.
