If you are asking, how do I attach the art into the frame, here is one answer.

Use offset hardware. They come with one or two holes, depending on the manufacturer, for the attachment of the "single step" bent metal strap that is screwed into the frame. They come in sizes from 1/8" to 1 1/4" (3-30mm ...

Your English language skills are excellent.

You have not stated the age of this compressor.
From a standpoint of finding exactly where the leaks are the use of a "bubble test" is the gold standard for moderate leaks.
It consists of making a weak solution of dish washing liquid and water and then ...

I would just call them a hardware bracket. A bracket for a specialized purpose.

In the case of displaying something in a case in a museum, I would call it a custom mounting fixture or stand.

When I bought it the top piece that applied pressure from above was just a flat metal piece that came down. it was marking some frames so I fitted a felt pad to the bottom, but it’s still crushing frames.


The felt might not have enough "give" when pressure is applied. It depends on the ...

Is it a computer problem or a hardware problem?
For minor alignment and basic maintenance they have a help line that requires a service agreement subscription.

That looks like a real workhorse for a business to sell acrylic boxes to other framers and retail display sellers.

Those little holes along the edge were possibly where pins/nails/tacks were used in the stretching process.

Was this art originally stretched on bars? If so, I would do as originally done by the artist. You might have to humidify the art, not apply water to soften the leather.

The parent company at one time was American Safety Razor Co. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Safety_Razor_Company https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edgewell_Personal_Care https://www.accuteccompany.com/s/

Through corporate musical chairs they are now called either 'Accu Tec' or 'Edgewell ...

I used to modify the "standard" adjustable bars by adding wood shims/slats to the outer edges of the bars. The shims would have the proud corner sanded a bit to protect the canvas. There was a limit to the the width of the shims where all 4 sides had to have shims. These shims were mostly higher ...

I have a question for my fellow picture framers across the pond regarding 2 mm glass.

Does your thinner glass come in any of the modern variants of glass used in the picture framing industry(AR, UV filtering, low reflection)? If not, then the 3 mm glass route is the only option.
The 2 mm glass ...

Not knowing the actual fibers that they are using or the climate control of where they will be displayed, adjustable stretchers would be the gest option.
You might also consider sealing the wood with appropriate modern varnishes preferrable conservation grades.

That is like asking how much is a vehicle and how are you using it in addition to what is your total financial needs. IT ALL DEPENDS.

what size of business
where is it located (home based, industrial estate, main shopping area, etc.)
how is it organized (individual, company, corporation)
is there ...

A word of caution Rob.
The outer V nails are a bit close the the outer edge IMHO. The same with the inner nails. With this profile you have dodged a bullet. Possibly not so the next time.

The smaller the diameter the shipping tube the more likelihood that there will be some damage.

If the rolled art is rolled onto itself, the art surface should be facing outwards and should be protected with a layer of soft tissue paper or glassine paper. This will protect itself from possible ...

I might have some in a can of obsolete hardware. They go back to the 70's and 80's. I am in the US.
Personally, I would suggest swapping the out with new.

Before the invention of Wall Buddies and other special hanging hardware, I constructed a gauge that went over the top rail of a frame that had adjustable 2 pins that would catch the wire/cord and allow for all of them to be set at the same distance from the top edge of the frame.

It was made of 4 ...

You have not stated a target for a price per sq m. This includes the mount board as well as the adhesive. We also do not know your cost of labour and overhead costs.

The most "cost effective" method of mounting is the wet adhesive process. It has drawbacks that have been mostly overcome with modern ...
