The Framers Forum

Hi all just got my hands on one of these babies but got a few questions. It came with a manual but on starting it up a message comes up saying " please replace with a new battery" so I assume it needs a new battery but what one and where is it . Nothing in the manual that helps anyone got ...

Great job I have been asked to do the same mount a Hockney which was printed on newspaper my concern was the use of tape to secure the print to a board as the tape would I assume bleed through the paper. You mentioned some Japanese tape where do you get it.

As the subject says I have been asked to mount a set of glass baby's feet and hand prints, any tips or advice on mount type?

Hi Chris I have a Futura and will have a look tomorrow as I haven't noticed this as yet. The only problem I have found is that the start cut over cut is on the last mm.

why cant I put an avatar picture in my profile or am I doing it all wrong.

Thanks guys sorted it and found cut face up, add 6mm to start cut and 2mm to stop and bingo. Just need to perfect the steady scalpel bit at the end or I end up with a overcut due to slipping.

Yes I am going to add a silver slip/fillet hopefully lol

so cut it with the front up or as usual facing down ? also need to cut 3 apertures in one peace any ideas

Ok I have been looking at all the topics on this subject and am getting a bit confused. I accept Roboframers method of dialling out the over cut and cutting the mount face up.

The place where the framed shirts are hung is on an area of the roof that slopes from the wall at about 45 degrees to the roof. So not flat against the wall.
