I have two very succesful distributors in European countries who both only employ framers as salesmen. The salesmen work 3 days for the distrib. and 3 days in their frame shops. Their wives cover when they are out. The big advantage is that when they visit their customers they have empathy and under...

Hi Graham, IMO its always best to contact the mfg. as they know their product best. Tell them what you are looking for and they should be able to tell you who in UK has bought the item www.lopezmold.com where you can fill in an enquiry or try a direct e-mail to josem@lopezmold.com Good luck! Keith H...

Always a good idea to ask the mfg. Its in their interest to help, and most like to hear from users.
Try this e-mail address......

Good luck!

Nigel, I suggest you ask the rep from Herranz - Madrid or Molgra - Terrega.They are the 2 distributors for Keencut in Spain. Herranz is better as they are very machinery led. Also I would send e-mail to Keencut and ask them to send pdf of the instruction book for your model. Hope this helps Keith He...

Hi Stephen,
Assuming you are going to Sisslings, Dublin OPEN DAYS - Sun 25th and Mon 26th, can you show this idea to Pete Bingham as its something we should include in the proposed DVD.

Thanks,
Keith

The other 2 he first covered bare wood with a gold or white tape, then painted it all over with Everest br...

Stephen at Absolute Framing - Dublin and John at Estlite - the 5 colours we have are all made from Colourmount cover papers so exactly match the mount board 801 Ivory, 864 Old Gold, 871 White, 872 Black and 981 Off white. Johnat Roboframer and Osgood in Australia - these tapes are NOT archival. I un...

Comments are welcomed from any framers who read this topic. We are in the process of developing a range of S/A tapes. The origianl concept was simply to wrap round beep bevels, either over foam or woodpulp.. But the ever creative Pete Bingham has suggested other more enterprising uses as shown in th...

Mathematician, You are buying from the wrong supplier! I heard a lovely story from my Australian distributor who was complaining that business is really flat down under. Told me a framer came in and said"I need a little bit of moulding. I've got enough for the other 3 sides I just need a short ...

Jeyelle, your story reminds of the 2 ladies below! :lol: Girls Night Out Two women friends had gone for a girl's night out. Both were very faithful and loving wives, however they had gotten over-enthusiastic on Bacardi Breezers. Incredibly drunk and walking home, they needed to pee. So they decided ...

Dear Clueless On May 21st you made your first post..... _________________________________________________________ "Who is this fatg mentioned in so many postings and what does he do?" _________________________________________________________ But 12 days later you are incredibly well inform...

I spent most of yesterday with the framing Guru in Sheffield aka Pete. Bingham. He did some surprising things with these 48mm tapes. Mostly wrapping raw wood moulding, then using Everest paints to colour, stipple, then gold top coat and finally rub it with very fine steel wool. Stunning results. Pet...

I would like to see the F.A.T.G in as many overseas counties as is possible. It is commendable that they actually have more members per head of population in New Zealand than they have in the UK. I wish they could repeat this success in another 50 countries. In Australia the PPFA has got themselves ...

You maybe interested to hear that Slater Harrison will be introducing a deep bevel tape in a few weeks, which is 48mm wide . From what you wrote this might be easier to apply. If you would like a roll f.o.c. to try just send me an e-mail k.hewitt@slater-harrison.co.uk There are 5 colours white, ivor...

John,

Sounds very interesting! Can you tell us how it will, or might work.

Keith Hewitt

If you send your address to me I will post you some old mags.
Any preferences? UK, USA, French, OZ, or German?

Slater Harrison sell even bigger polythene bags - size 42 x 50 ins. They come boxed in 100's and are available from any COLOURMOUNT stockist.

Hi John (Ranes) Nice to see your more than helpful suggestions on the subject of framers web sites. But tell me what does SEO mean. I hope I'm not the only one who doesn't know! One site I particulary like ( apart from yours John!) is www.ormondsframing.com Keith Hewitt Life is like a pack of mountb...
