The Framers Forum

Thanks Prospero. I`ve requested a Simons catalogue.

For the moulding, a square profile would be fine.

Hi
I`m looking for deep mouldings 60mm deep and 50mm wide in gold or silver. I also need 50mm wide white/cream linen-look slips. Any suppliers come to mind?

This thread is the best laugh I`ve had all day. Ta

My nieces and nephews think I`m fat - mainly because I`m fat.

Thanks for the advice and information.

I`ve not been at this framing malarkey too long. I`ve done more with children in an after school art club than with paying customers. Anyway I`m learning as I go. Thanks again

Hi. I`ve just framed a poster which with a 70mm moulding and 100mm mount is now 1250mm x 930mm and very heavy. Another customer wants me to frame a 1270mm x 740mm Klimt poster with awide mount and 70mm moulding. Again it will be very heavy. How should these heavy, unwieldly items be fixed/hung from ...

What about insects/bugs etc? Does anyone spray insecticide at regular / irregular intervals?

Only teaching half day today. Been on to Lion - very helpful - gave me some of their ideas for top 10-ish. I`ll phone the area rep when next I get half day off teaching. Thanks for the replies, felllow framers.
