Posted By: <b>Adam J. Baxter</b><p><BR>I generally try to avoid buying or bidding on skinned N172's if I can, however, I recently was fortunate to pick a couple Brown's Champions portriats (Bushong + Hudson) that are unfortunately skinned. They are both quite fragile and I really would rather reback these to avoid damaging them further. I have a fw questions for the board as to how to go about this task:<BR><BR>1. What type of cardboard stock/mount to use? Backs from Goodwin actress cards? These two would have to be mounted to the cardboard, as they are both trimmed as well.<BR><BR>2. What type of glue to use, specifically?<BR><BR>3. How to perform the rebacking? (step by step if possible) <BR><BR>4. If in the end I lack the guts to do it myself, is there anyone in the hobby who provides a rebacking service for N172's? If so, how can I contact them and what would the cost be approximately?<BR><BR>Any thoughts would be most appreciated.<BR><BR>Thanks,<BR> Adam
