The matt will overlap the edge of the paper by 3/8" (1cm).
I am planning on setting the width of the matt surround at 3*1/2" (9cm) top and sides, 4" (10cm) on the bottom.
This gives me a finished mounted size of around 36" (90cm) x 30" (76cm).
I would like to ask people's opinion on these proportions of picture, margin and matt.
Should I use glass or plastic glazing?
Also, what size of framing section to use to support the all-up weight?
Thanks.
