This discussion page was started in July 2014 to collect ideas for improving the chapter. It includes the suggestions offered by the BPG Publications Committee, PCC Task Force in 2007-2009. Please feel free to add your own suggestions for improvement.
FYI I have decided that glass glazing is now a historical technique, and am moving all references to glass to that section. Glazing options will be discussed in more detail with modern options explained --Fopferman (talk) 18:13, 25 January 2026 (UTC)
Suggestions for Improvement
- PDF instructions made for different institution are welcome and could be the subject of a call for content.
- When the chapter was written in 1988, there was no bibliography. A short bibliography was added in 2017, but it could certainly be expanded.
- Mention Coroplast board, hexamount, microchamber board, and magnets.
- Give specific instructions on using silica gel packs (or link to this information).
- Discuss traditions in mat aesthetics.
- Re-evaluate references to using thymol-impregnated blotters, as this is probably not recommended anymore.--Kkelly (talk) 10:15, 19 September 2017 (CDT)
- Redraw the illustrations, as they are blurry and poor quality.
- Those illustrations really need help! I think even just re-screenshotting from the scanned pdf would be an incredible improvement, the ones on the page currently are illegible. Also all photos need to have a caption and to be bigger --Sandrine Blais (talk) 19:04, 28 November 2025 (UTC)
- make section regarding sealed packages more prominent and more detailed --Fopferman (talk) 02:22, 20 January 2026 (UTC)
- move photos from gallery and beginning to relevant places within text --Fopferman (talk) 18:14, 25 January 2026 (UTC)
- I moved a number of them, but some don't directly relate to existing text. Thee are also a slew of cornering options that may be overly complicated/redunadant. Considering removing these, especially since I don't have a text explanation for how to make them --Fopferman (talk) 23:00, 27 January 2026 (UTC)
- remove redundant adhesive info on this page that also appears on BPG Adhesives and/or BPG Adhesive Recipes and Tips --Fopferman (talk) 19:13, 25 January 2026 (UTC)
- I want to add Flying Nuns to the paper corner section, but I was told I can't call them that irl... :( --Fopferman (talk) 22:23, 27 January 2026 (UTC)
