The Framers Forum

Collection from Edinburgh. Hello, we’ve upgraded our mitre saw and have our trusty old Prisma CE for sale in good working condition. She’s been used 5 days a week in a bespoke framers so visually is a little stained and dusty but still works really well. She would benefit from some fine adjustments ...

If they are oil paints then a little heat can soften them for stretching, even if they are another paint medium some heat can still help. If you have a small fan heater then try to hang the canvases in front, you don't want them to be hot, just warm.

Hi All, I'm trying to source a supplier for a brown distressed veneer frame we used to get from Ashworth & Thompson. The mouldings are still viewable on their website(codes below) but they don't have any stock left. The next problem is determining exactly which brown we used to buy (haven't boug...

Update, All sorted now and fully working, John from Framiac figured it all out. There were a few glitches within the recent update and one of our laptops still had the old version (which was switched off and hidden away) which was causing the Pro version to glitch. Hi all, Are any other users of Fr...

Thanks for your reply, It’s all working again. We had issues after they released an update (you may not have updated through the Microsoft store yet) but John seems to have fixed it all. We were having a meltdown as we use it over two stores and had to provide guesstimate type quotes and tell custom...

Hi all, Are any other users of Framiac’s FramR software having problems? They did a software update and we had some issues that over the hours of us not being able to price jobs did get fixed, then another issue that was also fixed but now we can’t get access, we simply can’t login, just a frozen sc...

Free to collect from Edinburgh. Please note, we will not wrap and/or post.
We are moving premises and have discovered a large pile of lengths of mouldings,all full lengths and in some cases multiple packs.
Need gone ASAP.

Fantastic outcome, I really have to spend more time on this forum.

Many thanks to every one.

If not dealt with yet, there is a dry mount price list here http://www.amimage.co.uk we use them here in Edinburgh all the time as we only have a 4'x3' hotpress and absolutely will not drymount photos bigger than 20"x16" due to orange peel or lifting when using sticky board (when using sti...

We use ours all the time, I have one in each of my 3 premises and use it to order mouldings, send diagrams between the shops and the workshop, we can even send coloured faxes to each other thats right, the humble fax can now send in glorious technicolour. Anyhoo, they double up as scanners and inkje...

Hi David, I should have said the outer edge is just rounded, as in photo below.

Hi folks,
I have a customer with this moulding and she wants us to frame a bunch more in the same moulding.
It started life as a Bare Wood, probably Obeche but who sells it? if any of you know please reply to this.

Thanks in advance

We just use our cordless drill/screwdriver and a tiny nail for the drill bit, or you can buy tiny drill bits fixed into a hex type head to fit cordless screwdrivers but pricy when they keep breaking. The glue called Mitre Tite works a treat, loads of other folk make it too under a different name, it...

One idea to counter act this may be to start our own buying group. I put this to the FATG many years ago but they're so tied up with trade suppliers it was never going to be considered. There will be items of hardware that we all use day in day out.With some volume we could negotiate with manufactu...

Hi, I noticed this for sale a while back but as much as i wanted one couldn't afford it, still can't but could get a loan. anyhoo, what size of board will this handle and is it the same as the bang up to date one? I just received Simons flyer and the rental option looks good but I really like to own...
