I have a friend that has a mural in his office. He would like to "frame" the mural. Meaning, attach molding to the wall to simulate the mural is in a frame. My question is... how does one attach wooden molding to a wall?
Before you answer.. please consider these facts.
1> The wall is sheet rock
2> The office building is a newer building. So, I'd be willing to bet that the walls are build with Steel, and not 2x4 studs.
3> He wants a smallish type molding. He said, 1/4", but I don't think he realizes how small 1/4" molding would be. So I'm thinking probably an inch molding at most.
4> Positively, absolutely, under no circumstances, do I wish to get anything on that mural, or damage it in any way.
Any ideas? I thought of some type of adhesive, but I'd have to be super careful not to violate fact #4 above, via dripping glue.
I didn't think that brad nails would be enough to hold it up in sheetrock.
