Hi,

Does anyone have any ColourMount metallic mountboard I can buy - Platinum w/c 1.4mm CM19 and Bronze w/c 1.4mm CM18.

I just need 1 sheet 600x700mm of each.

Thank you.

Hi, does anyone possess some of this moulding - discontinued LION L2616. Just need 1.6m.

Please message me if any spare. Thank you!

Thank you NYAF. Can you tell me how exactly it is 'attached' to the Mull or linen? Is it then stretched a little as in lacing up the back? Not quite sure I get how it flattens it a bit. Like the idea of best of both worlds and not sure the customer will be paying restoration costs anyway.

Thanks.

Hello, Looking for ideas on how best to flatten and mount a heavily creased airmap dated from 1943. The customer is open to different mounting methods which I have discussed and just wants it framed so does not need to be reversible. I'm reluctant to dry mount it in a Hotpress for obvious reasons (l...

Thank you. That's very helpful.

I'm looking at a couple of pricing software packages free trials including Estlite. Using Estlite, does anyone know a reliable way of costing more complex tasks e.g. fixing objects in a frame, making spacers from foam board and mount board, all the extra bits of material involved and the added labou...

Hi there, It's a while since this post but I am thinking of using acrylic in a frame 40 x 44" however don't want to pay the prices from the usual suppliers. Is the 4mm clear acrylic from 'the plastic man' cast or extruded acrylic? I'm assuming if you're using it, it is good quality stuff and do...

Many thanks Dave, I've just given them a call.

Hi, I need to match colours of Timecare museum m/b 'Warm Cream' Arqadia no. C3308 and 'Museum Cream' Arqadia no. B3307 to similar colours in the Crescent museum Ragmat range.

Does anyone have a spare piece of Larson Juhl Artique m/b I can buy from them? It's 'Miro 4854' (red colour but has to be this specific board). The overall size I need is 510mm x 350mm. Happy to pay postage.

Thank you,

Thank you for the suggestions and links. I've ordered paper drill bit

I've been scratching my head for some while on this. How do I cut NEAT and tidy 4-5mm diameter holes in suedette mountboard? They need to go in to a 14 x 16" 1.8mm m/b including the centre area so a standard hole punch won't reach nearly far enough but does cut neat holes around the edge! Singl...

Thanks I agree, too much thinking..it will be fine.
