The Framers Forum

I framed it without a back as it looks cool from behind so the person could lift it off to show people the back. I don't think I would use araldite or silicone in case they react to the map material. From memory I used normal double-sided tape but it wasn't strong enough so I used tapestry tape whic...

I'm not vat registered so that is the final price.

You can and no it does not.

Bottom one looks like Centrado 3530OB that's been stained or waxed.

I'm £77.63 for the first one and £139.11 for the second.

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.

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

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

Here's a thread from last year.

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.

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.

Always mount to an undermount,
I use Munken Duo board.

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.

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...

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?

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?

where does one see the views for each topic?

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.
