Re: Mainline All Size Stretcher bars

I have not tried these at all, but the Mainline rep has demonstrated them to me. It's quite an impressive system, but I'm not sure how effective the triangular wedges are. When I am fully installed in my new premises and finances are good, I ...

Re: Mainline All Size Stretcher bars

Seems a good system as you can join off cuts with the appropriate joining bit

Mainline All Size Stretcher bars

Hi All

Anyone used the Mainline All Size stretcher bars? What is the verdict?

They look simple, albeit a wee bit more expensive.
Are they just a friction fit?

Re: Edge-less canvas stretcher.

I’m sure Mainline here make something like that (obvs a bit far away from Jordan) - I think it was called the flatscreen stretcher or something. Just had a little look - they’ve discontinued it!! I can't deny it's a very good ...

Re: mainline mouldings customer website

The T&Cs on the FrameBook site say that the supplier is Mainline, although that's not much help if the framer isn't familiar with FrameBook printouts. If you would like to purchase mouldings from this library please add your favourite products to a ...

Re: mainline mouldings customer website

Most framing websites don't show prices until you log in. Registering for an online account establishes your bona fides.
It's like the Member Only section on here. The innocent must be protected. :lol:

mainline mouldings customer website

I'm sure mainline mouldings used to have a separate website that was for customers to look at - all the mouldings but without the pricing info. I can't seem to find it anywhere? Am I imagining it or was it a different suppliers?
