The Framers Forum

I know lots of framers struggle with it, but we have been using aluminium wrap (mostly Mainline 200-0065) without problems for years, perhaps we have been lucky in our choice of profiles.

... for mounted prints in our browser http://www.arqadia.co.uk/productdetails.aspx?id=127&itemno=999120000 It is not far off the price of the Mainline budget board you mention so I might run with this. The only question I had in my mind is that this is a very flat finish and I wondered if ...

I use one of the Mainline basic boards that are stated as conservation level for my backing board. It's much cheaper at £2.30 a sheet, I then use Arqadia for my main board for the mounts. I have tried the roller blind method and it ...

Evening all - anyone have any idea on what moulding this is and where it's from? The rebate is 30mm.

We want to use it for some army medals... It's not Arqadia, Simons, Mainline or Lion....

Cheers all who get back!

We use tons of Polcore moulding on all sorts of jobs from 5x7 pictures of kids to football shirts and manage to join it using the mainline super glue and prefer to use a 10mm wedge where on wood a 12mm wedge would be better. As has been said keeping the wedges well away from the outer edges ...

Thanks everyone for your comments I will take them all on board and keep practicing. I might well take up Ricky's offer too from Mainline Mouldings for a sales visit. Thanks Ricky.

... spreadsheet? I am considering using more of the D J Simons mouldings but I use my own pricing spreadsheet that looks up the prices of Wessex and Mainline mouldings from other spreadsheets. Simons have supplied me with the prices in a PDF file which I am discovering is too long winded to get into ...

A bottle of Champagne from one supplier - but it did cost me an EH Morso, underpinned, Hotpress and an Excaliber in addition to the usual spend!!

Even without the bottle it is now a joy it is to make frames

A couple of bottles of nice wine from radius mouldings.

bottle of wine and a box of chocolates from one supplier.

I had no lion bar in my last delivery - I put it down to the fact that I had 2 boxes of mount board and it would have been squashed in the box if it had been packed with the board!

So far this month we have had TWO Lion bars from one supplier, wonder what Mainline might send us for spending a small fortune with them this year?

Tuffnells ........grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Thanks Vince. Our warehouse lads have been working overtime to speed things up and I have to say Tuffnells have been much better this year than in the past, 99% of orders have been delivered on time during December. They've only lost one parcel so far, so if anyone has a box of POL4445 they didn't o...

Ordered online yesterday at 14:32, arrived this morning before me!

thanks guys

Mainline. They have a pickup and delivery service which saves a bit of hassle. It's a long walk to the post office.

Try wessex they do polcore.

This might be something that Grahame & Mary have through at Blackhall Framing Gallery.
They are on the forum but may not be online much at the minute..
Drop them an email at info@haveitframed.co.uk or give them a bell on 0131 343 6264 or 0845 388 6943

hope you get it sorted

We are looking for anyone who might have a mainline moulding for sale. The code we are looking for is POL-2051 it is a black polcore moulding that mainline have run out of and we have urgent orders that need filled.

Any help would be appreciated
