hanging foam core mounted posters from hang rail
Hey folks,
I have hung temporary posters from hang rails before. Mounted on foam core, I have used gaffer tape on the back and wound picture wire around the tape. In one case, it worked great. In another, the foam core (which was a cheap knock off... I should have known better!) delaminated and dropped the boards regularly.
What would be an appropriate system to use on the back of the posters?
TLDR Poster hanging: Rail hooks I have. Braided picture wire I have. Just need the way to grab foam core posters cleanly.

How to build my GLAM resume during a gap year?
Hi guys! I recently graduated with a B.A. in history & museum studies and am now pursuing a Fulbright ETA (essentially 14-18 hours a week teaching high school students in a foreign country). What are some things I can focus on/work on during my down time to strengthen my GLAM resume when I return to the United States? I'm obviously going to try to get involved in volunteering at the local musuem in my town & the country I am moving to also has an association for historical memory which I want to get involved in but I am looking for other things I could be doing in my free time to build a resume and demonstrate personal interest in the field if. that makes sense. For context, my dream job is to work in public history for the federal government but I am also considering development/grant writing positions in public history/art museums etc.
