	Topic: help with framing a wooden puzzle double sided

	Customer wants to frame a wooden puzzle (about 100 pieces). Each piece has been signed on the back by their friends so they want a double sided framing and on some type of easle/stand that can be rotated to view the signatures. Any suggestions on how to keep the puzzle pieces together (glue???) and design for the stand?

	If each puzzle piece is signed on the back, thye must be larger than usual. How big is this puzzle? How thick is it? It weight an issue? Are there any protrusions from its front or back surfaxces, or is it smooth and flat? A glass "sandwich" design would be a bad idea, because glass is a poor thermal insulator and tends to condense moisture, which could damage the contents of the frame in contact with the glass. An acrylic "sandwich" design would be better, because that plastic glazing material insulates better and would not condense moisture so easily. However, condensation could still occur in the event of rapid or radical temerature change when humidity is present. "Dew point" is the issue, and for serious framers, it is worth learning about.

	This would not be an archival solution, but the puzzle could be sandwiched between 2 sheets of glass, or better acrylic, so no glue would be needed.
