Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
The Puzzle,and I presume it is a jigsaw puzzle could be mounted on a stronger base,thick cardboard,ply wood,even a canvas!.Place a cover of card over the puzzle and carefully turn the whole thing over so that it is face down!.Apply a glue to the back,I would use a spray adhesive such as Photomount,as well as a brand name it is now a generic name(like Hoover) so any art shop should have something like it in stock!.Follow the instructions on the can!!Place your support,(card etc) onto the back of the puzzle press down and carefully turn the whole lot over again!.Remove the protective cover you put on first and there you are!.The mounted puzzle could be laminated,framed or whatever you wish!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
