The Framers Forum

Thanks for the link, it's the one I remember that first got me to use two spaced wall screws to hang heavy pieces.

Looks great dude. Is the weight guide by Robo still a thread on here?

I'm amazed with your ability to not name and shame the company that told you that those wedges should be off centre? That just not acceptable.

A simple one.



A big one.

And what kind of lady wears a garter these days?

Agreed dude but I'm sure people on here aren't foolish enough to go throwing Zest It all over the place with testing a small area first? And yes it's smells great... I degrease the stainless steel oven extractor with it too.

I've used a product called Zest It to remove tape with great results, dissolves toheadhesive without damaging the paper.

I hate it when framers try too hard to make something that tries too hard to compete with the art it houses but I actually quite like this dude. You must've been made up when you handed this bad boy over to the customer.

How can you possible adjust the fence for every length of moulding you cut? I have to tweak the fence every time I change blades or as the wear but constant tweaking surely isn't the norm is it?

I found that if I cut two strips of mdf the same width and about 500mm in length I can square the morso. Lay one strip flat on the right/ measuring arm and cut a mitre then turn it upside down and test how far it is out by laying it against the left hand blade. You can then adjust the fence accordin...

I have a Logan 301-1 with added straight cutter that is for sale but I would want more than £30 for it as it is boxed and hardly used. Great piece of kit though.

That looks great.

Couldn't you cut a piece of mount board exactly how the moulded case is with the holes cut out too so the coins could sit within and sandwich the lot either side with glass? Hope that makes sense?

Either way for a £1500 print my opinion is whoever framed this made a poor choice in the tape used but more worryingly the technique in how much of tape was used to hinge and how much was applied to the artwork. As a relatively new hobby/ part time framer I find that slightly worrying for the art of...

Thanks for the help dude. I don't like the idea of a tape that instructs the user to not put it any nearer than 40mm to the artwork. Simply just don't like this tape anywhere near artwork that has the potential to increase in value.

All of my stuff is in Con clear and that is one of the lower end prints I've framed lately, the most expensive being £3k. for someone.

Good to see someone else on here from Leicester. If anyone asks for memorabilia framing I know where to send them now.

Yes it does, the W is on the COA. The prices of Ben Eine art went up when David Cameron gave a Ben Eine canvas to President Obama when he was elected to office.

That why I don't want to leave it on, I have no idea the damage if any it would cause by leaving it on? I've just removed one of the hinges with the zest it and it has left a mark/ water mark where I have applied the solvent. This is meant to evaporate and leave no trace. I tested this on a piece of...

Because this is my person print and don't like the idea of the devils tape across the back of it. If it belonged to a customer I'd be tempted to do as you've suggested though.
