- Completely seal back seams of the frame and backing with acid-free tape.
- Use glare-free glass with a UV protective coating to cover the artwork in the frame.
- Never frame artwork without also using a mat board between the art and frame. Wood may hold humidity that can transfer to the artwork. *You can use acid-free frame spacing instead of matting, if you prefer.
- Also, if you have a glass insert to protect the artwork, make sure you add a mat to prevent the art from sticking to the glass over time
- Have art matted with acid-free mat board. Don't back art with cardboard - chemicals may cause discoloration.
- Never use rubber cement / white glue to adhere art to a surface
