Good Tips

Post by StevenG »

Hi Guys, was on Youtube the other night and found this lady called Abby, she's a professional fine art framer - in this clip she offers some great advice. I recommend we all watch it, I'd say it'll make (some) of our lives a little easier. Enjoy ....

Some great tips on the interweb. :wink:

The other day I gooogled "Cleaning Stainless Steel Sinks". My sink was looking a bit manky and I've never been able to get it really sparkly clean. Got a really good tip: "....use a stainless steel sink cleaner." :roll: No brand name. No tips on application. A whole page devoted to that gem of wisdom.

Anyroadup, I have heard tell that vinegar is a universal magic cleaner amongst other uses. Also heard tell that brown sauce is good for safely cleaning coins. So a lathered the sink in brown sauce and left it awhile. Washed off with hot soapy water and now I have a shinny sink. 8)

And no scratching. :clap:

wow, I'm so glad I watched the one on replacing a piece of glass in a frame. Who knew you were supposed to do it like that! I particularly liked how she showed just how to cover the glass in fingerprints as you put it back together. Now I know where I've been going wrong all these years :Slap:

Isn't that what is meant by framing prints?
