I just did a 1000 piece puzzle on a roll up mat. How do I get it off the mat to my board to frame it?

You can do it two ways. Your mat rolls up to keep the puzzle inside right? Lay it backwards on a large flat surface and unroll it so it's upside down when it's on the table. Then duct tape the back and you will be ready to frame it. The other is to get some puzzle glue and secure the puzzle with the glue before you try and move it. This is the best answer I found.
I did this with a puzzle that I made for my granddaughter. Go to a hobby store and get some mod-podge. It's a type of glue. Brush it all over the top of your puzzle and it not only glues the pieces together, it gives the puzzle a nice, protective shine.
I came here to find an answer to the same question, but m concerned that the puzzle glue would get in between the puzzle pieces and stain the roll up mat. Any other ideas?
If the mat is plastic or silicone, the puzzle glue should just pull up off of it. If you are still concerned, maybe you could cover it with plastic wrap before starting the puzzle.
Glue the front, then slide it over after it is dry.
