Expert type Jigsaw Eastern Gate IMG_6557 adj
The rear of the jigsaw I bought that had been stuck to a 'repositionable board'. It is a little tacky in places, with fibres stuck to it and I'm wondering how best to deal with it.
I took the photo in landscape format, and if I'd kept it that way it would have been even more full of 'awesomeness'. (Well bigger anyway, but the jigsaw was portrait and I'm a stickler for the truth).
The puzzle is obviously cut in the style of Robert Plumb, almost certainly by one of the manufacturers known to use the style - ie The Bridge; The Expert /Boots; The Graphics Gallery; Frederick Warne Chandos. The seller attributed it to The Expert / Boots - but I don't know why and with no box am never likely to unless another puzzle surfaces.
It arrived, flat packed and assembled, just as I was about to go on holiday, so I left feedback but didn't examine it too carefully. It turned out to be stuck onto a 'repositionable adhesive board'. At first I thought I had been sold a cut-up picture rather than a jigsaw and complained to the seller. With nothing to loose, I flexed wildly and ripped the backing thick board and after a couple of hours had managed to free all the pieces - but this left traces of the adhesive on their undersides. I now have a puzzle in remarkably clean condition, but am afraid to store it in a tin in case the pieces stick together and damage the image surface. I shall probably have to store it flat against a piece of card overwrapped with cling film.
