The Framers Forum

thanks for the advice jonny!!

yeah, i totally agree. I did a training course and I used a morso guillotine and casses unperpinner. I felt comfortable using them. It's just where I did the training they are trying to sell me different brand equipment than i trained on. I think i will just go for quality equipment.

excellent, thats for that

oops.....i meant o type - the more ovals...

the model ovals, the more work its done from the foot wearing it?

thanks people! i have been offered a secondhand morso f, is there anything i should look out for on secondhand ones, any problem areas?

thanks kaptain.kopter , i was also looking at the casses c88 foot operated underpinner. Im just a bit weary that the cable would snap as its foot operated.

hello , i am just about to startup my own home framing business and i need to buy all the relevant equipment. As for the mitre guillotine, one person is recommending a morso f and the other is recommending the framers corners guilotine. Has anyone got any experience of the framers corner guillotine?...

nice one, thanks

anyone in ireland dealt with glenwood mouldings in newtownmountkennedy??? anyone have an email address for them?

makes sense i suppose, cheers

do i only need to put the strips below the painting to prevent it from slipping or should I surround the entire painting with strips of mountboard?

those are great tips, thanks for your help.

righteo, i'll stop asking questions now, thanks again.

could you use the same prodecure for oil paintings on board?

ok... thats fine. cheers

would normal mdf backboard be ok right behind the board the watercolour in painted on or would i need ph neutral backboard, then mdf?

excellent, thanks roboframer. I do appreciate you taking the time to reply.

ok, thanks roboframer. Just to get this right in my head.... place the watercolour face down on the mount, position it, tape the 4 corners and build up with mountboard strips so the mount is the same thickness as the board the watercolour has been painted on. do i use fp90 tape to stick the mountboa...

hi, what would be the best way to mount a watercolour done on board? Would a t-hinge be too weak to hold the watercolour to the mountboard? i want to put a double mount over the watercolour. any suggestions would be most welcome. apologies for asking lots of questions, im a complete novice
