The Framers Forum

It's worth posting on local artist facebook pages. I've known artists snap us cheap equipment that needs a little work, to frame their own work.

My advice fwiw, get it somewhere, anywhere, dry asap otherwise it'll be worth very little very soon. Moulding is often not worth anything, except for a beginner to practice on.

I suggest removing the block and silver metal "hammer", clean down regrease and put back, checking that the hammer is not damaged. If this doesn't work, try TGS repairs or Mark at underpinnerspares.co.uk. They'll be able to advise over the phone.

I only use Larson Juhl and yes , always specks of some kind.

Loutay, I meant to say peterframer is on Instagram not here as far as I know.

HAha! NYAF seems to have left the building.
I mentioned it to the mod Prospero the other day, he said yes it is one of the few things a mod can do! The other mod Steve N has officially left the building, so we're down to one.
Loutay, you could try "peterframer" he's a gilt frame dealer.

We use the PEL paper repair tape, but only on the back. Looks like the Arcare tape is the new version of the PEL tape.

What about platform mounting it with plenty of space for expansion and contraction with a spaced shadow mount on top?

Hooray!

Any of the Morso suppliers will have an engineer you can speak too, Wessex Lions Ashworth etc mark at underpinnerspares too.

Anything is possible! A few dots of water based grab adhesive or even clear drying wood glue should do the trick. I wouldn't put it against the glass as the temp and humidity is bound to affect it sooner or later. Just use a spacer (as in a box frame). Warn the customer that this is bound to deterio...

Looks like Rose and Hollis A125 in Obeche, stained and waxed.

What's the Fletcher doing?

"Not sure why you would want a double rebate moulding..."
I'm guessing because it's on sale?
A black paper wrapped spacer from R&H is my go to for speed.

"Am I missing the true purpose of this type of moulding?"
Yup, me too!
