Re: Small box frames
I've used a lot of a white glue just so you can see it in the photo. Clear silicon or clear hot glue should be used.

Re: Small box frames
The clear hot melt glue is much easier than the clear silicone. The silicone takes ages to set and it a PITA to remove from the glass. It's worth paying the extra for a better quality hot melt glue gun, I've bought a Bosch one and the glue only comes out of the nossle when you want it to.
Originally I bought a cheap one which leaked hot melt glue from time to time without any warning and was really messy when using it.

Re: Small box frames
Thanks for posting the image. Interesting moulding but I think I'll stick with separate spacers and I prefer the look of the spacer matching the undermount anyway

Re: Small box frames
I have not thought about this for a long time, but I used to sell ready made box frames in my shop window, at the time there was more demand for them, by gradually they fell out of favour. I made them out of mouldings that I bought as discontinued, because they were a cheap deal. Maybe this might be a possibility worth looking into.

Re: Small box frames
I use the R&H obeche spacers and stick/glue the mountboard to them. They have 12, 19 & 25mm spacers that are 4.5mm thick and with the mountboard it comes to 6mm thick, so ideally the width of the rebate should be 7mm which they are on the frames I use (A42). I glue the mountboard to the spacer and then cut on the morso. For smaller frames the spacers just drop in and the mitred corners hold them in place. For larger frames I glue the spacers to the rebate.pramsay13 wrote:What do you use David? Just mountboard on its side?
