Re: FramR chop price settings
I can only assume they are rounding up due to wastage etc on their chop prices, which does make sense. But to cover it, it does look like you will have to do some sort of a workaround. JKX (John's) solution is a quick and easy way to do it! Another easy remedy if you always buy chop from them - is t...

Re: Pricing help
You can either put in one of the specifically created boards - such as Larson Juhl's conservation backing board - which can be used as an undermount, eg code number LLL008950, or choose one of the jumbo boards if needed. All of those can be found under their listings for backing boards and have the ...

Re: Frame IDs please
Bottom one likely Lion moulding Tempest. It comes in two widths but that looks to be the wider one. It’s a lovely range.

For Sale: Wall Mounted Steel Roll Rack for Adhesives etc
We have created a new storage area for our rolls of adhesives and laminates - so are now selling the wall mounted steel rack that we previously used. This was purchased new from Lion a number of years ago and is in very good condition. Ideal for anyone wanting to store these rolls on the wall. Lion ...

Re: Display options
If you are going to use display fabric then the self adhesive version is the way to go. But you will need to bond it down under a good amount of pressure to make it last properly. We ran our boards through our jetmounter.

Re: Energy contracts
We're just in the process of taking out a new business energy contract - electricity only - and were recommended by another framer to have a look at British Gas Lite (separate from British Gas itself). It is totally online but the rates were far better than we could find elsewhere. We are in the pro...

Re: Do you all use some kind of software?
Pricing software would be one of the essential items on our list if we were starting over. We've used FrameR since 2014 and our only regret was not signing up to it earlier. Because it is cloud based it is so much easier to use, store and retrieve customer information than the earlier version. As Je...

Re: Opinion Poll!
I'd drop the mirrors from the title so that you can make Picture Framing larger underneath the company name. As you say people can be passing quickly, you want it obvious and easy to read. Most people seem to assume framers can (and do) also do mirrors - if it is on your website (separate page for m...

Re: Deposit dilemma....
Just to get it straight in my head: You have 38 jobs in-house already - and the customer has paid you a deposit of £2.5k to set against them. But you don't want to do all 38 at once and you can't list them all on one invoice at the moment because there are unknown variables around the pricing of 18 ...

Re: raising canvas in float frame
Easiest way is to build another frame as a platform out of something flat - we use a spare barewood moulding of the relevant thickness, or even flat fillets, depending on how much you need to raise it by. It just needs to be flat on the top. Size the "platform" slightly smaller than the ca...

Re: How is this moulding effect achieved?
Most likely pine moulding or ash. If hand finished then the softer wood is removed with a wire brush. Do that while it is in length - a bronze brush if you’re lightly opening the grain and a steel wire brush if you’re taking out more. Prepare and stain in length and then cut and join. If you’re happ...
