Building a Puzzle on Top of Another: Not a Good Idea

A couple weeks ago, I decided to put together some of my old puzzles (from the Buried Blueprints series - been out of print for a while), glue them, frame them, and hang them on the walls of my "man cave". After completing the first puzzle (a King Arthur themed puzzle), I decided to move onto the next puzzle before figuring out the glue/framing process.

I couldn't find any cardboard or similar thin, flat surface for moving the first puzzle, so I made the decision to build the second puzzle directly on top of the first. While this worked, visibly it made it a bit harder to put the puzzle together as the gaps were not quickly evident:

I eventually did finish the puzzle, but I won't be starting on the next one until I at least figure out where to move and store these completed puzzles. More likely, I'll get these two clued and backed (but not necessarily framed) before continuing on.
