[APML] Framing

I will be framing a number of astro-prints, an area that I am not very familiar with. Below is my recipe. Any comments appreciated.

* Print on Epson 1270 using premium glossy photo paper.
* Allow print to dry at least 24 hours.
* Spray with 3 coats of UV-blocking water-resistant lacquer.
* Mount to acid-free backing matte material (or foam core) with spray adhesive.
* Hinge-mount a front framing matte.
* Install into frame.

My reasoning for affixing the print to the backing surface is to avoid warpage.
