Re: Cassis wedges compatible with Gielle underpinned?

So often I see, when out and about at art fairs, exhibitions etc., unfinished oak frames that to me look, well, unfinish...

Re: Cassis wedges compatible with Gielle underpinned?

https://www.wessexpictures.com/Gielle_Wedges.html
Probably best to use the correct wedges for your machine.

Re: Backing a print
Can I ask what you've got against it, as I've used it occasionally, with the customer's agreement. Is it because it's not a reversible method? I'm only against using self adhesive board in this particular case. Kev stated he is a complete beginner so I thought it best he doesn't attempt to use SA b...

Re: Backing a print
Welcome to the FF
Step away from the self adhesive board
Justintime is right to mention using hinges, that's the way to go.

Although it's out of stock.
Try Rose and Hollis, their slips are thinner but not as wide.
Good suggestion from YPF.

Re: Fixing art work

Re: chop service for a local artist??
Try taking a bag of spuds into your local fish 'n' chippy shop and see what sort of reaction you get when you ask them to peel them, cut them and cook them
Offer a cut and join bare wood frame for them to finish how they want but only if you supply the moulding

Re: How to adhere foam board spacers to aluminium moulding
This isn't really answering your question but, you can get aluminium moulding that has a 'built in' glass spacer as it were. The design has a separate slot for the glass.

Re: Final finish for hand painted frames..
I’ve been using Winsor & Newton Galeria Acrylic paints recently and I’m thinking I won’t bother with F&B anymore. It’s much easier to mix the paints straight from the tube rather than from a tin pot! I find the quality and consistency of the paint to be good and so far have been able to mix ...
