I have a picture in a poster frame that I want to exchange with another.
It was bought at a yard sale and the previous owner (or somebody else) used glue to put it in. It's not Elmers and looks more like epoxy judging by the shine to it.
How can I remove the poster without ruining the frame, the glass (main reason I spent the two bucks) or the cardboard backing? I don't care if the picture is lost.
I realize I'm asking a lot but I am hoping one of you have a solution.

Cut away the picture. Water will work to soak it off if the glue is soluble, but you say it looks like epoxy so cut the unwanted picture away. Acetone will ruin a plastic frame or remove paint unless extreme care is used, same for other solvents. So just cut it off and be done with it.

Try cutting the 'glue' along the frame, then use a single edge blade to scrape the 'glue' off the backing...

2 procedures you ought to circulate... one million. Take it in to a physique shop, they'll maximum probable do the subsequent step. yet they are actually not likely to debris it up. 2. Stretch it, in basic terms in basic terms confirm you maintain it extremely loose. it extremely is making the canvas too tight which could distort the photograph, no longer putting it on a stretching physique.

I don't think you will be able to. If it is glued in then you are stuck with it.
