The Framers Forum

Hello, does anyone recognise this moudlng please?
A customer wants it to match an existing frame which was framed in the Uk.
There is a similar one at my suppliers but it is made of plastic.

Cheers Catherine

Cheers, your advice and suggestions are gratefully received...

and yes I am a relative newbie, I have framed this size of map before but the paper was much heavier .. and had no problem.

nice one, what did you bond it to the card with?

Hello, yes the map was rolled. I have returned the framed map to the customer but put it onto two pieces of artback conservation board which stabilized the whole thing and there were less ripples. I have advised them to think about laminating and then framing. The whole thing would then weigh less t...

hello, I have laid it onto the backing board ( conservation ) and have fixed it down with tape along the edges whilst using a roller to smooth it out so ideally there would be no ripples in sight... no I have not mounted it or used spacers..

Thank you for your swift reply, but the map has no character, it is a new print....

Hello all, I am attempting to get the above sized map which has been printed on thin paper to lay flat on the backing board without success. I can get it it lay flat without any ripples without the glass , but once the glass is replaced it ripples. Shall I ask customers to get it laminated ? :head:...

uuuummm Where would I find that programme please.

Brilliant!

I am now wondering if anyone has made the coving by hand, no computer, just school room maths equipment...

Thanks, I ventured further down the Board and saw how to make one..

Hi all, I am rude ! Yesterday I joined and sought help with L shaped framing without introducing myself first. Bad form . I have been framing for two years and I love it. There is nothing like being your own boss and not having to get up early on a dark frosty morning to drive miles and miles to wor...

Beautifully presented John.
Where do you get the coving from?

That's a good dea for next time.
Thanks

Hello all, after reading all of your useful comments I have come to the conclusion that I have picked up the wrong moulding.
However I already have the correct moulding as seen behind the sample piece that I did cut.
I attach a picture of the wrong moulding..

Catherine

THANK YOU

Many thanks Richard, I did cut a sample that way yesterday but my problem seems to remain somewhat because I am making a box frame and the moulding is black on its inner surfaces but bare wood on its outer surfaces . It might be that I have to paint the outer surfaces?

Catherine

I should add that the inside of this moulding is black . The outside that is unpainted will be the outside of the box frame and that needs to be black..
