By Mike Richardson 30 May, 2023 2 mins read

You have come to the right spot if you are looking to save a jigsaw that is in progress. This article will help you use the Edges Only button in order to save your puzzle. Then, you'll find out how to mount it on a backing board and frame it, or use Mod Podge to preserve it.

You can save a jigsaw by using the Edges Only option

After you are done with a jigsaw, click the "Edges Only” button to save it. This will show the edges of your pieces above the puzzle's joined parts. This allows you to save the puzzle at anytime. You can also save the puzzle with a timer. This will display the hours, minutes, and seconds since the start.

You can also pick multiple pieces at one time. This will highlight them, and save them as one. Another useful feature is 'Snap Indicator.' This appears when two puzzle pieces have been close enough to snap together. If the Snap Indicator isn't working, you can save the puzzle by choosing the pieces one-by-one.

Mounting a Jigsaw Puzzle on a backboard or frame

Mounting a save jigsaw is a process that involves many steps. Once you've saved your puzzle choose a frame. After that, measure the puzzle to fit it. Most frames have catches at the back, which will hold the puzzle between glass and cardboard. Cheap frames can be found in secondhand shops. You should measure the length and width of your mounting board.

Clear box frames are great for framing puzzles. These can be found at most craft and frame stores. Or, you could use a nonglue-mounting board. It will need 24 hours to dry before you can mount it.

Once you have mounted the puzzle on the board, it is time to attach it to something to hold it flat. As long as the piece is not larger than the backing board, you can use wax paper or foam. You should also ensure that it contains all of the puzzle pieces. Once the backing board is complete, you can lay the puzzle onto it. To help it dry faster, you can add items to it.

Mod Podge is used to protect a jigsaw.

Mod Podge, a fun way of preserving your jigsaw is an option. Mod Podge can be used to seal and protect your puzzle. It can be used to add matte or shiny effects to your puzzle. Mod Podge can also be purchased in three different shades.

Mod Podge, a popular brand for crafting and decoupaging is great for preserving jigsaws. This glue combines adhesive and lacquer for a protective gloss-finish. It's thicker than regular Mod Podge, but has the same clear finish. It's safe to be used on cardboard.

The glue is available at most craft and Walmart stores in the U.S. and can be used on medium to large puzzles. The glue is quick drying, non-toxic, and water-base making it a good choice for puzzle preservation.
