Re: Display area - what to include?
We always had lots of framed and mounted/unfarmed work for sale and I never bought anything in framed, ever. I could always say to a customer "It's going to look something like .... THAT" If I remember right though, you have a clause preventing you selling goods, unless made to order, so p...

Re: A problem piece/home...
@john so why not seal the package Well, although this may be OK in normal conditions then for these conditions, the same reason as you wouidn't tape a print all around, to allow movement, If the boards are going to move, they can only do that where there is no tape. Maybe this is the only thing the...

Re: A problem piece/home...
Correx may help. especially two pieces bonded together with the flutes running perpendicular to each other, also, if you sealed the glass "sandwich" - don't this time. Maybe add extra deep custom made wall spacers made from acrylic or something, instead of the usual bumpons. Foil frame sea...

Re: FramR chop price settings
Well here’s what I did Framiac prices a chop job cheaper than a length job due to lack of wastage and labour (it’ll also price a chop and join job although no supplier does that, try that!) So I imagined two customers collecting the same frame job at the sane time with one wondering why their cost i...

I thought they rounded chop price up to nearest half metre but they’ve rounded your 1.1m up to 1.3m

Re: Pricing help
To save time I created a dual backing board called (referenced) "undermount" in a few varieties. 1-6 or so. A combined undermount and backing, (not stuck together, just for pricing) each had its own description on the order form e.g. "Alphamat artcare 4 ply plus artbak" I did hav...

Re: Relief maps - which adhesive
I'd apply the same principles for sticking anything together, double mounts, rebate spacers etc, and that is just a bit of self adhesive - say one small dab each side, to hold while the more reliable wet adhesive dries. This also allows much easier repositioning if you don't get it right first time....

Re: Pricing help
For the first job - Working on an hourly rate of £40 and a 30% markup (right or wrong), if that hourly rate is correct - i.e. what it costs you to open the door each day, and bearing in mind you can make extra charges at the same rate for more complex/specialist tasks, regardless of how long they ta...

Re: Moulding identification/suggestion.
If that's a flat moulding mitred on its side then the lip seems to be wider than the rebate is deep, which is odd. I think that's the way it's supposed to be cut and joined, like this one from L Juhl touchwood range. https://larsonjuhl.co.uk/mouldings/larson-juhl-collections/ljc-touchwood-interior-m...

Re: Display options
A sliding door room divider? That’s a good idea to save space, if against a wall you have that plus the doors in front of it. Just use display fabric like this, black looks best IMO. https://www.fabricuk.com/fabrics/452-display-loop-nylon-hook-receptive.html Some framing suppliers sell it as “displa...

Re: Sticky question
Maybe it will work, you’d have to test it on one, or something made from same stuff. Hot melt glue might work, or acrylic gel medium. You can get really sticky pads for dashcams etc too, but this is such a small area. If you didn’t require space and a mirror behind them, a tiny melinex strap around ...

Re: Workshop location dilemma
It's Ok to have a "clean" room, but you can also have a clean area in a combined workshop and the plan chest will certainly help in that area as well as giving another worktop maybe. A place for mounted artwork when drying? I like the user name, is you Welsh? I take it you know the song? h...

Re: Double mount, coloured bevels
There are other less epensive colour core boards I'm sure - Nielsen do some, or at least did, their website seems to be out of action. Colourmount? Regards re-adjusting - hopefully you use DS tape and (mostly) glue to fix double mounts etc anyway, just in this case no glue until final assembly. To e...

Re: Double mount, coloured bevels
Congrats! How did you do it, masked bevel or freehand - and how did you reassemble? You can get coloured core boards - but all I can find on line now is crescent brite core from Wessex, and they are SO expensive! £20 a sheet plus VAT in 5's, £22 or £23 singly. https://www.wessexpictures.com/Crescent...
