- Shows how I blockmount prints onto mdf board
The print gets laminated with adhesive film applied to the back at the same time. mdf board is cut slightly smaller than the print size, the edges sprayed black. The laminated print is mounted onto the board and trimmed flush.to the edge of the mdf.

And talk about the accuracy with those scissors - skill level 10.
Nothing I really need out of this video but I can't help to applaud to your professionalism!
Wow, no blah blah, very professional, I love it !
Great video. It is mesmerizing watching you cut so quickly & accurately.
Fascinating!! Thanks for sharing.
Good job man. Accurate and efficient
Simply amazing... thanks for sharing
Wonderful my friend
Great video.
Subscribed. You cant be this good.
I'm in awe!
This is a great video - well edited. I have some large prints that I need to mount but don't want to go the traditional frame and glass route because of cost. This look like a great alternative. The prints I have are 30x53 and I wonder what the lamination and backing would cost? I'm pretty sure I could do the rest. Woudl love a machine like this one but they look super pricey.
very impressive
dope level
Wow. Clean work. Think you've done that a few times before ;)
ps. Can you buy the adhesive film, that goes on the back, in smaller quantities? brand? I want to mount some small artworks I've created onto mdf, and would prefer film over some of the glues/modge podge currently recommended!
Hi krystalTiger sorry for the late reply, I purchase from a framing supplier, they only sell to the trade. You should be able to purchase self adhesive film in sheet form but not sure where best to try as I have only purchased from my supplier
Great video, thank you for sharing. Can I ask what was the model of nail/tack gun you used at the end? Thanks again.
It's a BostitchTU20/SJ3023 staple gun. Now over 20 years old so not sure if still available
Thank you - I might find something similar here in Ireland.
Hello Derek - thanks for the 'how to'. I have a similar project in mind: mounting a 15" x 12" photo printed canvas art piece to MDF? board. The artwork was originally mounted to a hollow wood frame but was found to have lost important details due to wrapping around the frame. Artwork thus has crease lines along both short sides. How best to mount? Is 1/2" or 3/4" MDF best? Should I use adhesive film vs 3M-like spray adhesive? Should I place board over artwork mounted MDF and clamp tight for maximum adhesion and minimal visible crease?
Great video thanks! Would you say it's necessary to mount with heat or cold mounting would be just fine for this process? Thanks
Either hot or cold mounting I think will be fine.
hello, what double sided adhesive do you use? Is it acid free? Thank you
Hi Derek, do you train/consult at all?
What laminate do you use for this process?
Where can I find the laminating machine?
How do the toxic chemicals in the MDF affect the print over time?
I have had no visible issues with the mdf. Have prints on hand I had done over twenty years ago mounted on mdf with wet glue D87 a dextrine (starch) paste, Daige Rollataq adhesive and self adhesive tissue. Blocked mounted, mounted and framed as well as small matted prints mounted on 2.5 & 3mm mdf and sealed by shrink-wrapping. The glues and tissue do act as a barrier to help protect the paper print from the mdf. Even the sealed shrink-wrapped and framed prints show no edge damage from the mdf substrate used. I’m in Canterbury, New Zealand and the mdf board I use is sourced from a local mdf manufacturer in North Canterbury, I’m guessing other manufacturers use the same process and materials to manufacture their mdf.
I have seen damage to matboard with chemical reaction over a short time with mdf, double sided tape and sunlight were the top surface of the matboard has discoloured directly above where the double sided tape is attached to the back of the matboard and nowhere else on the matboard The original artwork had barrier paper between the mdf and artwork Not sure on the brand of double sided tape the artist had used and was only a couple of colour matboards that seemed to be affected. Grey Violet and Dusk from the Crescent International Whitecore matboard range the artist was using at the time. I was using Scotch ATG Adhesive Transfer Tape at the time and never noticed it happening when only the ATG tape between the mdf without a barrier with those two colour matboards.
wow
Where do I buy those scissors?
Like a boss...😂
what type of spray did you use please
Use PlastiKote Satin Super , satin black plastikote.co.nz/products
I'm in Ghana, can we have the list of the materials used please
Thnx alot pls what Is the Name of the machine brand
How this machine call?
Years ago they used to have a sliced away boarder - has that gone out of fashion now?
"Sliced away border" if that's like a beveled edge on the mdf board it's an optional thing. I like the simple square edged look on the sides
A little voice explaining what your doing and how would have been nice
Not exactly. The length of the film would be double.
Hi, am impressed by your work. Any email contact I can reach you..?
contact details are on my web site www.artprint.co.nz
Please be careful - cutting MDF board is hazardous to health.
*I AM NOT CRAZY ABOUT YOU NOT USING CLOVES. THE CUSTOMER WOULD NOT APPRECIATE IT EITHER*
What's gloves going to do?
You may know how to operate scissors but you have no clue how to use a circular saw. That blade is way to high it only needs to be 10mm higher than wood being cut and that will bring the guard and riving knife down too. You only have two hands look after them !!!
Not practical for me to have the blade low as the extractor hood would obscure the blade from sight and I want to see the blade when cutting materials. If I had no hood I would have the blade lower as blade and material being cut would then be visible. Using saw benches and other machinery for 43 years doing my time as a coach builder in a large workshop with 600 worker, around 150 other coach builders and do take safety seriously. Have all my finger never come any where close to losing them.
OH LOOK.. I don't know how to talk!!!
