Re: Probably should have said a big fat NO
Impressive! But what about the glazing? How was that cut?

Re: Gawd knows!
There's also an International Standard (ISO) recommending 97% plus - again Tru Vue have a finger in that pie. What none of these standards/recommendations tell you is WHY 97%. How did they reach that figure, what tests were done? No, they do not "have a finger in that pie." ISO are fierce...

Re: Glass for special certificate
the tru vue tests are done by the image permenance lab or something like that, who happened to be sponsored by (yes you guessed it) tru vue!!!! No, sorry but this is completely wrong. TruVue does their testing in-house; I know this because I have seen the testing facility in person and have spoken ...

Re: Clear Film Magazine mount
A few months ago I did something very similar with a magazine, with a few differences: 1. I only used the one vertical strip of Mylaer inside the front cover. 2. I attached a slightly undersized piece of black AF foam board behind the mounted magazine. 3. When I cut the strips to line the sides of t...

Re: Spacing glass from Posters

Re: That's not how I was taught to use a Morso
I have no problem with it. I'd back off the blades after each cut when needed, but not all mouldings hang up and need it.
When I learned yo use chopper I quickly found it was faster and easier to move it with my knee. Very helpful when chopping moulding for a hundred or two 8x10 frames.

Re: Guild Guild Framers Committee reply to points raised on
No, the ability to hold accreditation without being a member of the governing body is not unique to the FATG. One can attain and keep CPF and MCPF status without being a member of the PPFA. Keep in mind that a CPF, GCF or MCPF are often employees, not owners of a store, and yearly membership dues ma...

Re: Woodpecker needlepoint
As much as I would love a laser engraver to play with, I don't have one. A framer local to me has one and offers it as a service to other framers.

Re: Woodpecker needlepoint
Thanks for the compliments, everyone. David, the laser engraving was done with, well, a laser engraver. Imagine a Gunnar mountcutter or an X-Y plotter, but with a laser head instead of a cutting or printing head. Pretty much the same thing as a printer: lay out the text or artwork, position it and l...

Part II

I fit the needlepoint in without glass initially so that I could get good photos. What I found interesting was that it actually looked be...
