Cassese Underpinner Parts
I require a wedge hammer for a Cassese C88.
I understand that Cassese are no longer trading.
Does anyone have any contacts that may have the part I'm looking for?
Many thanks
Robert

Spring Clips
I use a few different methods of fixing canvases into frames. One artist has taken to using much thicker stretcher bars. This results in me having to attach an additional thickness to the frame moulding so the frame can sit flush to the wall. I normally use 49mm spring clips to secure a canvas, but ...

Re: What mount cutter?
Dear Jonathan, Justin and Mark
Thank you for your replies. It is much appreciated.
I will do my research but the Kencut and Fletcher appear to be the most popular and the easiest to buy.
Many thanks

What mount cutter?
I am looking to buy a mount cutter.
I don't cut a lot of mounts so don't need an expensive top of the range one but something that is easy to use and preferably not too expensive. What makes or models would you recommend? or more importantly which ones to avoid??
Thanks
Robert

Re: Underpinning and gesso
Dear All
Thank you for all your advice and tips. I have alot more to think about now! But I will proceed with more knowledge and confidence.
I think I need to raid the off cuts box and try making a few chevrons first but will bash on and hopefully make a few good frames!!
Thanks

Re: Underpinning and gesso
Thanks for your advice, that is really helpful. I think the manufacturers guidance is so that you dont get glue in the v-nail slot. So if I am careful it might be ok. I certainly dont want to go to all the work of gesso and gilding only for there to be a crack on the join. I will have a bit of a pla...

Underpinning and gesso
Hi I have not been framing that long and have glued and fixed all frames up to now. However as things were going well I have bought an underpinner. I gesso, bole and guild some frames. My underpinner advises against using glue and when I paint the bare wood direct this is fine, however I am concerne...

Best Paint
I have been using Everest Paint on my frames. I am told that the man who makes them has closed his business I still have some colours left but no black (which I use a lot of). I have tried a few other frame paints but none seem to be as good so I was just wondering what other people are using? Many ...

Hi, I am new to the site. I took up framing about 18 months ago. Mainly framing for my wife who is an artist but recently have done more work for other clients. I make all my frames from barewood - building up the layers and gilding - although being colour blind I do have to rely on my wife mixing t...
