How many times do you get in limited edition prints coiled up like watch-springs, or wavy watercolours. Items that should not be 'stuck down'. A simple method is to place between two sheets of silicon release paper; place in the hot press for one to two minutes (not too hot) and leave in to cool, so...

Never had one quite as bad as yours. Bl**dy cheek! You must have the patience of a saint.

Very true Dermot. Not a good idea to burn certain finishes, so these are avoided. Thanks for bringing it up anyway.

Our poster tubes house moulding of the same family, eg: small blacks in one; small golds in another; pines in one or two; etc. Anything under 1.5m down to useable length. All in front of stock lengths so easily sourced without wasting time and moulding. We always pick from the offcuts first (about 5...

Two ways really. Use MDF. The heavier one for larger posters. Weight problem though. Always D-rings for hangers with braided nylon. Or decent thickness Foam-cor. Not pretty on the edge. We used to do a lot of blocks in the past, and bevel and black the edges. Not any more! What we usually suggest to...

Some of you may well have come up with this idea already. We all get loads of empty poster tubes. Any of them with a dia. of 4" or more make great storage for moulding offcuts. Tie a few together to prevent falling over and stack vertically. Moulding is always less liable to twist and bow if st...

Thanks for your replies on bain 4824. Nielsen rep. was unaware of any washline bleeding. Chevron has a note on the back (not to washline). no problems with any of the others in the range. When Bainbridge was first introduced, the top paper was well sized; only over the past couple of years there's b...

Thanks John. Been in this biz for 35 years now, so will hope to make some helpful contributions to the Forum.

Anyone had a problem with laying washlines on Bainbridge whitecore 4824? Interested in any comments.

Over the past few years we have used surgical gloves in handling glass, rather than ribbed mitts. They grip really well. Polishing glass is far safer, especially at the edges when you can get a nick or worse. Being thin is a definite advantage. Keeps fingerprints off too, so no lengthy polishing. Id...
