Re: Framing a canvas print in a box frame

Hi John

Thank you again for your reply. If you wanted to float mount a canvas print in a similar fashion what would you bond the canvas to and what would you use to raise the canvas off the mountboard.

Thank you

Re: Framing a canvas print in a box frame

Hi John

Thanks for your reply. In your example how is the inner frame fixed to the back mount and what material did you use for the back mount.

Thank you

Re: WORKSHOP TEMPERATURE

Hi Get a heat pump system installed, it will keep the temperature and humidity pretty constant all year round and can be run off a 13amp plug socket in most cases.

Re: Keencut 5000 cutting short

Hi
Thanks for your replies, I bought the Machine 2nd hand in very good condition, I will copy the instruction manual and set up as per Robo's instruction. I wonder is it a good idea to get an extra righthand stop when making lots of cuts the same size.
