Hi folks, nice to be new here and thanks for reading my post.
I'm using a nice, old 2'' deep frame that was used to display someone's old war medals, and I thought it would make a great shadowbox for showing some nice artifacts on my wall. The effect I'm looking for is to have them up off the background, but I'm not sure how to do it exactly though someone suggested wood glue to me (person was knowledgeable and heard it from an old pro but I'm not sure if the exact application matches my desired end result).
Can I use wood glue to affix some artifacts to nail heads which will get the artifacts up off the back of a shadowbox to achieve the desired effect? I am at a loss for what to use since monofilament will show and so will wire, but both might be better than glue because perhaps the glue will discolor the patina which is not acceptable.
I'm mounting an iroquois maskette (stone - very old), and a couple bannerstones. Any help / advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
