I have been cutting double mats for 15 years with a pro style mat cutter, but I have to admit I didn't understand this discussion at all. I am interested in the extra spacing idea, I heard it is also great for charcoal and pastel drawings which I also do, but still haven't been able to get a handle on it. You put it in between the top mat and the bottom mat? If it goes under both mats, the edge of the picture itself would be visible...? So you put it between the two mats but back about a half inch, sort of out of site?Or do you let the edge of the foam core become part of the visible structure? What about bevel cutting the foam itself?
