Description: Top mount released from back mount Lifted artwork from the back-mount using a Teflon spatula. The commercial mounting tabs were made using pressure sensitive tape, which left very little adhesive residue on the artwork. The tabs were removed using a combination of a microspatula and a dental tool. The adhesive residue was removed by swabbing with warm water and cotton wool.
