If you piece the laminate, one of two things will happen - you will not line up the pieces exactly causing an overlap or missing section. Overlap makes it extra stiff, missing section means a spot will eventually tear. It is the old time and cost vs convenience argument. How badly do you want it done now? Whatever you decide is the right answer, just be comfortable with your choice.

I really appreciate all the info you have shared with me here. Suddenly, I'm beginning to like the one side just fine. :lol: Sounds like it could be way more trouble than it's worth.
Thanks,

I was thinking about a poster frame. Would it be possible to buy 2 frames and make one reversible one from them. Then it could be hung and flipped back and forth as needed. Hope you find a solution.

Would it be possible to take it to an office store and have another one made and then they both can be displayed. Or you could frame it and put a hanger on both sides and you could just turn it over if needed.

I don't know how large this is but they sell plexiglass frames that you just slide your photo between the plexiglass. clips on the edges holds it together. Drill 2 holes for hanging and it would be nice and secure to hang.

A place called Country Curtains (www.countrycurtains.com) has a wrought iron curtain rod with a bracket on one side of the window and an arm that swings out so you can open windows and let more light in. It may not be what you want, but it may give you an idea.
