Thrift store frames lose their backing foam fast. I cut yoga mats instead.

Every vintage frame I grab at Goodwill in Portland has that crumbling brown backing that disintegrates when you touch it. I tried cardboard, felt, even cork sheets none held up. Last month I cut a dollar store yoga mat to size and it works perfect. Keeps the backing tight and the art stays put. Anyone else try weird materials for frame backing?

Yo, didn't my buddy use a cheap placemat for his and it's still holding up fine after a year.

A year ain't nothing. Come back when it hits five, @the_max.
