Creating bespoke storage for framed cloth with very friable backing
https://flic.kr/p/2iVb4PT | Creating bespoke storage for framed cloth with very friable backing | Solution: cushion support under object; support around side; hinged cardboard supports for framed Mylar cover so does not compress backing, (corners cut to avoid suction damage); tissue against backing shiny smooth side down to prevent catching and to pad out gently.
