I am preparing to exhibit a 4'x7' tile mural at a trade show. I am hoping
that someone will have some advice as to how to put it up as a temporary
installation. I have walls to my booth that are made up of 26" panels of
pegboard on 2"x2" frames. I can configure my walls so there is space behind
the back wall to put counter weight. I am planning to attach a plywood
sheet in front of the two 26" panels that will hold the mural. My dilema is
how to attach the tile. In the past, I have used double-sided mounting tape
- 1/2" and that has been very secure and stable. I would consider using
mounting tape if I could find a supplier for larger rolls than the small
ones in the art supply stores.
Does anyone know of where I might buy a quantity of tape at a reasonable
cost or have any suggestions of what else I might do? I appreciate any help
or thoughts.
Thanks so much

Cyra - that sounds like the double-sided tape used for carpet installations
and should be available in wide rolls from carpet stores or DIY places.
Presumably less expensively than from an art store.

Velcro works very well for temporary installations.

Cyra,
I display a lot of loose tile murals at my booth in trade shows. I
have panels covered with carpet, and use strips of Velcro on the backs
of the tiles. I notice this is the way many tile showrooms display
tiles. I even had a student in a workshop tell me one time that after
the workshop she'd installed a tile mural in a kitchen with Velcro!
The clients wanted to take it with them when they moved.
I also use some panels covered with a velveteen kind of fabric, which
comes in nice colors, but is more delicate and more expensive.

I've seen huge rolls of the double sided tape at hardware stores. 1/2 inch
wide. We used it for the hanging of title cards and light installation for
exhibits at our art center.
