Re: swept frames
Rather than post a new topic thought I would bolt on to this one.
Has anyone had any recent problems with cracked corners of swept frames?
The problems I am having are with Arqadia ornate swept frames, mainly black, white and ivory, with the resin/plaster on the corners cracking.
The frames when I receive them are fine, but in only a few weeks they crack in the corners.
My workshop/gallery is well ventilated and I have never had this problem before.

Re: swept frames
I have an arqadia 627 167 160 here had well over a year. It is fine.
Wonder if they have changed the method/materials. Don't buy them much - thought they would fly but they never have yet.
I could just add a similar thing happened to me when I had some products prototyped that were powder-coated MDF.
Conventional wisdom says you can't powder coat MDF apparently. A company fairly near me thought they had cracked it, unfortunately only the edges of the products actually cracked/crazed, after a few months.
Could be a similar problem if they are now powder coating wood or mdf but must stress I am only speculating and I don't know a lot about how these are actually made.

Re: swept frames
The Arqadia swept frames that I have bought in are the 829 range and the 627 range, 20x16 and 20x30.
Bit embarrassing for me now as a client has bought some for her hairdressing business , they have been put in situ' and now have cracked corners, will replace them as arqadia has credited me but....am hoping that this is maybe a different batch. We will see.
