Re: Tape free art mounting

I can’t see that a platform mount would work In this case...if it’s as thin as tissue paper as the op suggests - I don’t think it would be able to support its own weight and it would crumple. Encapsulation I think is your only option, either Mylar or acrylic sandwich...if you’re worried about reflec...

Re: Tape free art mounting

The issue with this is the fact the paper is so thin. If you use edge strips, corners whatever - will the paper be able to support itself. If it’s the type I’m thinking of - it’s probably not strong enough. I’d hinge it as a first attempt with Japanese tissue and methyl cellulose or klucel g. Or ano...

Re: Air canisters

It’s a Fraser 4125 and supplied power transformer too...not cheap by a long way...but I honestly think well worth it! On the limited items I’ve been able to use it in before shutdown!

You should be able to get them from any clean room supplier - I got mine from Sensemaster in Chepstow.

Re: Air canisters

Yup it’s an anti static gun! Cost a bomb along with the Bambi VTS200D. But I’d do it again! I’ve only had it a month or two...not the best timing due to the current situation. That money could have been better spent I suppose now looking back at it - but we obviously didn’t know what was around the ...

Re: Air canisters

And there was me getting myself one of these and a dry air oil free compressor! Honestly though probably one of the best things I’ve bought - the anti static action as well as the high speed air makes cleaning a job a breeze - it’s sped up that part of the job three fold!

It’s a little wet here - But flood plains doing their job - although one guy did try to drive over the bridge - his car got swept away a little bit and had to abandon it!

Re: chop service for a local artist??

Same advice as David really - although I wouldn’t suggest you use this approach - what if you said to the artist...you’ll buy some paint and canvas and can they Do the rest for a nominal fee per painting... I was once asked to provide a quote for something similar for a double stacked frame with a P...

Moulding Surplus To Requirements

Evening all!! I’ve just been making some room in my garage and I’ve come across a decent amount of moulding!! It’s been in here for about 8 months - from when I moved shop premises - last year. All seems to be in relatively good nick - although I can’t guarantee it!! At worst it would be very useful...

Re: Edge-less canvas stretcher.

I’m sure Mainline here make something like that (obvs a bit far away from Jordan) - I think it was called the flatscreen stretcher or something.

Just had a little look - they’ve discontinued it!!

Re: Selecting Best Wedges For Cassese Underpinner?

I dunno...is it just me...or....do hardwood wedges stack better than normal wedges? I always find normal wedges veer off, whilst the hardwood are perfect nearly all the time (even with 5 or 6 stacked on really deep mouldings). Obvs I'm talking about softer woods....couldn't even comprehend stacking ...
