Re: Glazing choices...

I would be just about comfortable with 2mm glass at that size although I would prefer 3mm. It would depend on the frame and mounting methods.

Re: Art glass

I've done it before and just glued a piece of wood all the way round to hold the glass in place.

Re: Glass vs Acrylic

I would always choose glass although it might depend on the actual figures.

Re: Underpinning narrow float moulding

Not totally sure what you mean, do you have a photo?
Generally pins are there to hold the moulding together while the glue dries, so there's no problem gluing and clamping instead.

Re: Soft wood splitting on Morso F

Are your blades sharpened properly?
Does other moulding cut okay?
Some moulding is just so soft that the back catches and in those instances I will either use a scrap piece of backing board in behind, or keep cutting until I get to a better piece of wood.

Re: Assembling a large mirror 1600x700mm

I haven't done a mirror that size, but I did one around 1m2 that I secured using canvas offsets but in reverse so they were holding the mirror inside the rebate. I put foam bumpers so it wasn't metal resting against glass.

Re: J M Turner

As John says could be to standardise a set although the set has since been separated. Another possibility is that the frame is a standard size and the mount was cut afterwards to fit the frame rather than the frame being made to fit the mount. Before I read your question I noticed the mount edges we...

Re: Keencut futura

Again a photo will probably help.

How big is the overcut?
Is it improving at all if you make an adjustment?
Has it ever been correct?

Re: Keencut futura

We'll need a bit more information and probably photographs to help too.
Are you getting an overcut on all 4 corners, both orientations?
So 8 overcuts in all?
What thickness mountboard are you using?
Are the blades correct and sharp?
Are you using a board underneath to cut onto?

Re: Morso Blades

I now have 4 working sets so don't need any spares, and these ones are too short so need a bit of morso adjustment to cut through.

Re: Labels for back of frames

I get stickers for the back of the frames from Discount Stickers Limited. I used to use Vistaprint but they peeled off before the frames were out the door.
I use Moo.com for business cards.

Ideas for old chevrons

PXL_20231222_134852747.jpg
I have this place where old chevrons go to die.

I don't want to throw them out. Any ideas for using them, displaying them, or giving them away?

Re: Morso Blades

Yes, up to 40mm apparently. The majority of my mouldings are this size or less so that shouldn't be a big deal.

Morso Blades

I'm looking for a new set of Morso blades, either new or with plenty of life left in them.

Any suggestions for where to buy?

Has anyone got a double ended set and is it worth paying extra for them to get more time with sharpened blades?
