Re: Insurance in republic of Ireland
Hi, That price seems about right. My recommendation would be to go to your local Insurance Broker and get them to do the legwork for you. This type of policy, especially if combined with a home policy on the same site can be a little tricky. There is also a policy Aviva do - "Trademark Policy&q...

Re: Sticking down a large laminated map ?
Yep Adam, They get a frame. They were all one sided maps though.
To be honest I hate doing these jobs as they are a PITA, however if they pay I make.
Would be interested to here how you get on with Steve from Hotpress.

Re: assembling stretcher bars
I still remember the day I had to go into the hardware and ask for a "rubber mallet"
I use a large 24" metal 90 Degree Ruler, and also double check by measuring the 2 diagonals as mentioned by Mitertight

Re: Custom made stretcher Bars
Hi,
I've used Renaissance mouldings before and found the bars to be of good quality and accurate.
Was a large size and they came with suitable braces and wedges.
Regards,
Stephen
