The Framers Forum

That is exactly one of the reasons why we use a mount, keep the image off the glass or that happens.

You can see where the mount was because of fading or acid burn. Both can be reduced by using conservation mounts/UV glass.

or a google search came back with these guys

I think the main man to contact is Mark at underpinner spares (also a member on here)

Yep I will second professional spray cans (not b&q stuff which is expensive and can be rubbish). I can custom colour match and I spray many frames, spacers, mounts or fillets with very good results. Does take a bit of skill and a fair bit of 'light' sanding in between many coats with wet and dry...

Hi,

Double window mount or slip is the only way to frame the expensive limited edition print.

Have to tell your client why and convince them to have it mounted properly.
Any sort of floatmounting and it is very likely going to ripple and go wavy and client is not going to be happy.

Thats not a bad idea, worth a suggest to the customers.
Many thanks

Yep, sadly looks like there going to be waiting awhile.

Yeah sadly that centrado mouldings is not going to match the others but thank you for the suggestion

Manufacturer in Spain is moving and production is down, will be more in the future but no date. At least this is what i'm told.

Thank you for your offer Steve, customer already has rooms full of this moulding so it has to match all the others.

Spoke to the customer, he wasn't to keen on the wait with no date and asked if it would be before next week.

Definitely checked in Arqadia, got some close but not the same.

I would happily discontinue it, (nightmare moulding to join) but the customer would not be happy.

I've had to phone customers in the past and tell them about delays, no problem (even upto 4 months delay) but im going to sound like a prat telling him I have no future dates for any of his moulding

Hi all, Lion are out of stock of L1272 (46mm Duo Black) and have no date for any future stock. :head: :head: :head: I have 2 framing jobs here for a customer that I have framed many things in the past with this moulding, so it needs to be the same. Can anybody help or point me in the right direction...

Looks great

When I first started framing I made all my own mouldings with lots of different shaped router cutters.
Lots of fun but after the first year I had became a nightmare (short of space) and I work from home.

Still do the odd job from scratch

Ok, thank you for your quick replies.

I guess I will get use jumbo mount and 5mm foam or 2 if needed.

many thanks,

Hi, I have a large print to frame and I was thinking the best thing to use was 10mm foamboard to mount to. I ordered a sheet from my supplier 2440x1220mm and it arrived very bowed. I've cut it down to size kept it flat and but it still like this. (photo below) Question, should I expect sheet size 24...

Thank you for your reply, it does look like what you describe as a 'Louis' style frame.

Not managed to find the one like this but it is from about 96' im guessing.

many thanks

Hi all,

I'm trying to replicate this frame, does anyone know anything about the moulding please?

Arqadia has some similar mouldings but not exactly the same.

many thanks,

To solve this problem on Black I use Colron Refined Beeswax 'Clear' (from B&Q) for the first coat of wax and for the second coat of wax I use Liberon Black Bison (neutral).

This is on top of Liberon Black water based stain and not paint but should still work the same.

Hope that helps

wow
