I can think of 2 reasons for bubbles in gesso. 1. a dry base and too much brushing. 2. a poor gesso formula. When I gesso a frame I first apply a thin coat of RGS (rabbit skin glue) at base strength. 16 gm RSG to 180ml pure water. This will vary silghtly with the time of the year and the humidity. M...

I would have attacked the framer in your example for another reason. The framer sold a job with a given standard and then substituted materials and techniques with another (of lesser value and quality). In my mind, this framer cheated the client and got caught. He (or she) got what they deserved (a ...

A Shame & Disgrace
One think to remember with the heavy duty tacking gun "attachers" is that in most cases these are much stronger that the fabric being attached or mounted. In the case of jaring of the frame package the art will tear before the fabric. This is in direct opposition to the theory of doing &qu...

As a point of reference I thought I might give you some prices. They are totally irrelevent for you since we do not have VAT nor have to import the product.

No offense taken. It is just easier for me to know about the products since they are more available here.

I hope your posting that commented on Denglass being £140 minimum was a mis-quote for UV (Tru-Vue Conservation Clear or equiv) since Denglass is not UV filtering for their basic product. Ther is a UV filtering Denglass though. As a price thing......... When UV glass came out many years ago we did no...

UV glass filters approx 40% of the UV light in the 300-400 nm range (?) . This is the wavelength most damaging to everything.
That means 60% is still going through. Just test a print in the front window of your shop. It fades very easily.

We have our share of "fixed income" customers as well. Our basic method of mounting fabric is to make a sandwitch of 4 ply and foam centered board and either pin it through the sides or staple from either the back or front (depending if there is a mount or not). We use stainless steel pins...

Even if the client would request such a method , I would not subject my clients textile (tapistry, needlepoint, embrodery) to such a fate.

This is nothing new in the States or anywhere else, I am sad to say. This is why standards like FACTS (http://www/artfacts.org),organizations like PPFA and The Guild are so important. To quote John Ruskin (1819 - 1900) "The bitterness of poor quality remains long after the sweetness of low pric...
