Question about backing board....I have a painting done on board, it will be framed with glass, a double mount and held in place with a foam core window. What I am unsure about is the backing. Is is OK to seal this in with tawney board and tape, making it air tight, or does the back of the painting n...

Hi, I would love to take these off your hands. Only thing is I'm in Glasgow so couldn't be further away! If we can arrange to send them up then I'll certainly take them.

Thanks, I actually found a local contact who came round and had it fixed in a no time, success!!

Hi, sorry for the late reply, I am potentially interested, how much would you be looking for, and would there be the possibility of sending up it north?

I can’t get any pressure into the underpinner pneumatic system as the air seems to be escaping from underneath the first connection, I think it is the air filter lubricator. I’ve been through the instructions but have hit a brick wa...

Hi Brian, thank you so much for getting in touch. If it’s ok I’ll give you a bell at some point today, having another crack at it all today.

Thanks all, I’ve had a good look at the courses in Livingston, some of them are exactly what I need so I’ll definitely be looking into them. Also found a few more in-depth on line Manuals so I’m having another crack at it today. Thanks for the other contacts, I’ll certainly be following them all up ...

That's all brilliant information, much appreciated, especially the advice about how to approach public display. Many thanks all!

The only thicker glass I can find, even 3mm, seems to be considerable mo...
