Mounting & Pinning Supplies
Мuseum professionals / mount makers create supports for objects on display or in storage. They must choose materials that are safe for the artifacts and use special tools that allow them to create inobtrusive, yet sturdy archival quality supports.
Larger objects require a more heavy-duty mounts made from acid-free materials. Clear Acrylic Rods and Vivak Polyester Sheets are a favorite of mount makers because they are clear, inert, and easily formed with heat.
Storage mounts created by archivists and conservators don't have to be as minimalistic and include custom-carved Ethafoam ® cavities easily carved with Foam Knives and Hot Knives, using Contour Gauge to replicate artifact's original shape.
