These are some pics of my latest works.Hope you like them.
The tree is my own photo that i took and finally printed it and frames it.

I used RC papers in one job and i used 4 types of double adhesive and spray mount 3 M and all was coming off.
Also i use mostly Innova digital paper and hahnemuhle paper, all fiber based papers

thx Richard.
I forgot to mention that the print is pulling off the double adhesive not the double adhesive from the aluminum.
In other words the double adhesive is always stuck on aluminum but the not on the print.
also do u mean the drytac face mount? or the dry mounting double adhesive?

Hello All,

I have a drawing made on silk that the customer wants to frame it with the best archival or conservative method also using Truvue museum glass what do you recommend?

Thanks!

thanks John,
I looked again and preview does have an option to add any moulding.
Ill think about it seriously now!

Hi John,

I have tried some and i didnt find a software where you can take a picture of a moulding and use it in the preview.
Is there any software in mind ? whats the best one you have tried?

Hi Forum,

I am look for a customizable visualization software for pc or Mac in which you can upload you own mount boards and frame sample to be used in this software.
Can anyone help?

Thanks

I usually use econospace from Lion or cut a mountboard to the size i need and glue it to the frame, you can glue 3 stripes of mountboards together for more rigidity.
Also you can use 4mm PVC Forex stripes cut to the size of the frame and in 12 mm width and glue them above the glass.
Good luck
