I have a couple Gosta Werner watercolors that have been rolled up.. Id like to unroll them for display reasons without framing them (to sell). Whats the best way to permanently unroll them?
s l o w l y ........ if they are bound...unbind them and let the paper relax for a day.....preferably in a bit of humidity so the paper is not to dry. Then if the don't resist too much, open them flat, and lay a full sized ...covering the whole work..acid free mat...or foam core....on both sides....on a flat surface ...and weigh it down with heavy books covering as much of the surface area as you can......and walk away.....come back in a week.....
