A customer has had problems with large photographs printed on a special metallic finish paper cockling when the frame under the mount when it has been hung at home.

The moulding was ash by the way and so hard that I had to ask my husband to help push the foot peddle down on the Morso because even with my whole body weight on it I could still not cut through it. I think I might try the fail safe hammer and nails wit...

I have a pneumatic undrpinner that copes well with most of my mouldings but even on the highest setting for hardwood it will only just about fire in a 12mm v-nail and certainly wont stack two even though the depth of the moulding requ...

I am not really sure how to go about it other than to stitch it to a linen or muslin backing fabric. However i am not sure then how to stretch this over a board to centralise it within the shadowb...
