DIY EASEL

[bmac]

I have been thinking about making my own boarderless easel. I can see using repositionable spray mount on a flat piece of plywood for RC prints, but what about fiber? I would imagine that the FB prints wouldn't law flat withough weight on the sides.

In the darkroom cookbook Anchell describes a "gelatin" easel. Where you have a wood base or container with hardened gelatin. The gelatin holds the paper completely flat, does not adhere to the paper and it lasts for long time. Neat uh?

The Easel you can eat! I love it!

I too have read about the gelatin easel, but there is a better way (maybe not as tasty though..)
You can buy a can of spray adhesive from Gepe that produces a surface like that of a Post-It.
It'll last for weeks, is reported to be ph-neutral, and when you no longer need it, it can be rubbed off.

It just sounds more practical than the gelatine method.

BTW, you can use this stuff inside of a film holder too. But you have to cut out the tracks first.
