 Step 1: Examine Artwork Package For Flaws

Tools and Supplies: Drafting Brush, Art Gum Eraser

Optional: White Gloves

Before starting clean your work surface. Examine the artwork carefully looking for dust and dirt on the artwork and mat. Erase, clean and dust off. If artwork is attached to backing board, check to see that the hinging is holding by standing up the mounted work to test the strength. When done sandwich the artwork package (backing board, artwork, mat, etc.) together face up and put aside.
