So, after you've finished off taping off you edges of your boarder with your artiest tape
or painters tape. You can just specifically use that if it's easier. I tend to like to
tape my board actually down onto my working surface and the reason for this is. Is it
stabilizes the working surface. So you sort of feel like it's a little sturdier and stronger.
So I had a couple edges that had some extra tape on them and then tend to go around with
my painters tape and adhere the actual whole illustration or mat board. Down to your working
surface again this keeps things more stabilized. When your working on it. It's easier to put
it away that way. Especially when it's drying because there is a lot of drying time that
your going to be working with as your moving along. So this is something you can do fairly
simply and a more efficient way of working. With keeping your surface clean as well as
stable and you don't need to use actually too much tape. But just enough to make all
the edges stick down. So that it's strong. When you lift up your board it wont fall off.
