That's great! Thanks so much.

Sometimes things do seem more trouble than they are worth but I have had a lot of work from this customer so I'm happy to find a solution in return.
Happy framing everyone!!

Hi Prospero

My spacers are 5mm wide (20mm deep) This is the widest they can be to fit inside the rebate. I understand your advice but I'm confused as to how I can fit all this in to such a small measurement.

Best wishes

Thanks
