Ok here’s a toughy.

I want to get this for my mother’s 60th (coming up in May). As a family we’ve all been pretty keen on puzzles, so doing it won’t be too much of an issue.

But.

Displaying it.

I have the perfect position to mount it and what not, only catch is, it’s outdoors. (Along the front brickwork of the house as you walk up to it).

Has anyone ever mounted a jigsaw outside? I was thinking could you lacquer it or something. I plan to do a few test runs with an old scraped jigsaw.. just looking for some starting advice.

Well we Started our Puzzle on Jan 1,2009 we are half way through now,, what a job, we DID mix our pieces… but
We did get the hard parts out of the way first,,, we no longer like clown fish..lol And Atlantis should remain lost….LOL Scott looks weekly on the site hoping no one else from Florida has mixed the pieces and finished before we get there, he is so funny.
So far its been real fun, we work on it most nights for 3-4 hours but have taken breaks for lifes daily issues. We were hoping to have it done by baseball season, looks like that ’s not gonna happen, thank God tVs are portable.

As of mounting we are gonna try using Contact paper on the back then set it to light weight insulation board to mount on the wall,, any other solutions?

I am looking for any advice and tips on how to mount this puzzle.

My sister in-law spent many months on completing this puzzle and she recently passed away. we are hoping to display this wonderful puzzle so her children will be able to admire their mothers hard work.

The only problem is that it has to be flexable in order to get it up and down the stairs in case we move. If anyone has any tips please let us know.

*It is in the four sections placed between large cardboard sheets as of right now. thanks so much.
