I'm looking to unframe a piece that was given the conservation framing treatment by mfm. It's in a box frame and involves no mount as it is floated. Is it a matter of simply taking the back of the frame off and gently separating/peeling things in order to leave no marks whatsoever or am I being naive? Your input is appreciated.

'Zest it' hinging tape remover. I think I got some from Amazon a while ago. Always seems scary using it, but always works a treat and never left any marks on the pieces I've done it on. |

That looks fantastic. Perhaps we should have a 'Top Tips' column, to keep recommendations accessible?

If MFM used gummed tape, then distilled water should do the trick, probably best to drop him an email if you're not sure

Easy to do if you're confident enough but if not then just slice the hinges to separate away from the backing you leave them on the print dude.

If you do use zest it then don't panic if the paper/ print starts to darken... It does dry out.
