Scout Gift "Unboxed"

[RodorW]

So we can avoid spoilers in the other thread, and if Scout were ever to send anything else, we can keep the visuals here for those who want to share!

I got mine today and already had to run to the store, so I picked up a frame. I wasn't aware they came with door hangers now, so I guess for now it will live on the back of my office door.

Damn. That’s way bigger than I guessed. Say is some effort and tell us what si3 the print is and what size frame you bought. Debating if I’ll matte mine too so it is bigger

I bought a 24x36 inch frame.

After the pictures I had seen, I thought it was going to be a 11x14 or something similar?
So when I unfolded it, I was kind of surprised, I'll buy how large it is.

Thanks for sharing the frame size! Glad to have also received the poster, would have been nice if it was not folded multiple but understand shipping would have been tough otherwise

 

[cyure]

Oh it’s big! Well now I need to research the best way to flatten something that was folded.

Wow, yeah-I would have guessed 11x17 as well. Thanks for the tip and guess I’ll figure out how to flatten as well

So weights, heat and steam seem to be the 3 ways I am finding.

Let me know what you all try and what works.

I haven’t even gotten mine yet.

I’ve done it once with hard surface, print, towel, steam iron

Did it work?

 

[J Alynn]

Did it work?

So-so. Paper doesn’t have muscle memory so it’s hard to completely flatten out the wrinkles short of fully soaking it and I’m never brave enough to try that

Go to a frame shop and have them dry mount it for you on poster board or foam core. That will pretty much do it.

That’s basically what I’ll do at home. I’ve framed a lot of stuff over the years. I have a black and white blueprint (white lines on black) that is wrinkled as hell so gonna test that one first. For that one I’ll likely modge podge it to a foam core board since there are a couple of tears as well
