Thank you for the info, I spoke to Wessex Fine Art to ask them how they would do it,
They done them before and just put them in the hotpress using film. The customer is not having a mount on the work so it will have to be a really sticky cold board of use the film in the press.

Afternoon Steve, it's always sunny on Portland, if it's OK to pop up next Monday or Tuesday as we have a large gallery order this week that have to be picked up. The compressor in our workshop is rated at 97 decibels and I'm running out of cotton wool. See you soon.

Thanks for the reply, I've tried doing search's, but haven't found anything yet, used the words Diamond,beads but nothing seems to pop up, are they called something else?

Hi, we have a beaded pic in at the moment. I would like to know if it's ok to put in a vacuum press and onto foam board. The press is a lovely bit of kit but it's also the quickest way to bugger up someone's pride and joy

Well I'm sure it can't be as loud as the one I'm using, you may be able to hear it while your having your cream tea at the Bill.
If you have time to pop in were are in Easton Square, also Church Ope is a lovely location to walk off your lunch.

Hi Steve, if it's still available i would like to buy it, at the moment we are using one that shakes the foundations when it's on.

Thank you Justin for your reply, I have used them in the past but we had so many damaged mouldings from them in the past and I was just told to accept at least 20% Waste was natural thing. I will give them another go and see if they have improved the quality control.

Hi,hope all is well. I've had a customer needed box frames which are 100mm deep, is there a supplier that does moulding this deep? also what sort of price would you give for a job like this. Slowly getting back to customers orders as I placed my glass order two days before the shutdown as we were ve...

Thanks for your feedback, space for us isn't to much of a problem as we work from a old skittle ally which I have sub divided, I have tried many types of white paint from wicks ripple to F&B and then Zinsser, I will be trying to add floetrol paint conditioner as it says it smooths out the flow, ...

Hi, I've been doing a lot of painted white frames for artists and at the moment I use a sponge to try and get a even smooth finish, I have been thinking about getting a spray gun setup to get a better finish, any recommendations or set up would be helpful.We recently had to repair a few frames for a...

Thank you all for your answers, I also tried using polyvine white wash satin as a base coat as well a ripple paint. I'm after a really dead matt finish but I have also tried using white eggshell paint, it just sometimes looks patchy, but after more coats it seems to come together. All the other colo...

Hi, I'm doing a lot of handpainted frames for artists using valspar paint or farrow and ball, the problem I have is when it comes to painting white frames, sometimes it takes 4 or 5 coats to get it to look right, I'm using a sponge to get a smooth even finish but it's just takes far to long to do. I...
