Is this moulding suitable?

Post by YPF »

Customer has left a valuable print to be framed to match other stuff I have done for him, namely; Lion L989, 80mm mount, Artglass AR UV. Overall glass size will be 830mm x 640mm, do you think L989, given it is fairly narrow, be enough?

Many thanks,

It's fine - might not be that wide from the front but it's a nice deep rebate.

Thanks for that Robo, I think I just needed a confirmation it would be OK. Now to get it framed and back to the customer soonest given its suspected value.

Now the same moulding (L989) will it be up to the job with glass size 990mm x 800mm? Or will I need to provide some extra support?

Many thanks,

I'd say that's starting to push it! Seeing as everything else is larger, what's wrong with the same but wider?

I did a shirt about that size today and used this - 35mm rebate and 45mm wide.
