Yes it was solid, light and secure... but still darn expensive and now I am scrounging around to get some art boards to paint on. I was using the high-density foam core to tape my watercolour paper to for drawing and painting.<br /><br />Cheers<br />VanCouver FletcherDavid Fletcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00885217301914682345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1201566824009694345.post-72122638812655688832012-04-04T17:45:10.082-07:002012-04-04T17:45:10.082-07:00Hi VanCouver Fletcher,
Congratulations on finding...Hi VanCouver Fletcher,<br /> Congratulations on finding homes for so many of your artworks. Too many of mine are no doubt tired of their garage-storage ghetto. However, people have bought a few of my watercolors and sketches from my exhibit at the airport. So things are going well here in Florida.<br /> To send paintings thru the mail I use Residential Sheathing Insulation (a Dow product) that is about 1/2 inch thick, rigid and impervious to water; this is the blue foam-like board that they use building homes here. There is a foil-covered version of the same thing that is actually cheaper, but sometimes the foil has a slightly oily residue from the manufacturing process.(With th foiled stuff I wrap the art in plastic first before sandwiching).<br /> Just sandwich the painting between two sheets (very easy to cut to size) and tape around the edges. If you do a good job taping you can actually send like this thru the (US) post; if you doubt your taping, or just want an extra layer of (more professional-looking package) wrap with paper or plastic (but I still write the address on the insulating foam in case the "envelope" gets torn.<br />I enjoy your blog. <br /> Florida FletcherAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
