Re: Help with right tape for float mount?
That’s interesting Justin,
The print was hung on an external wall.
I’ll look at bumpers, and try the hinging again with gummed tape hedgehog method and see how it goes. I’ll discuss the risks with the client and take it from there.
Thanks, Gabrielle

Re: Help with right tape for float mount?
The paper used for the ink jet print was actually Hahnemühle Photo Rag and 308 GSM so quite a cotton like texture.

Re: Help with right tape for float mount?
Thanks all,
I am finding out more about the actual paper and printing process. I want to confirm exactly how it was done.
Justintime, I will look at the Lions hedgehog method, and use gummed tapes instead on this. I will also discuss the risks with floating and heat with the customer.

Help with right tape for float mount?
Hello, I need some advice on float mounting. I have made a frame with a spacer for a customer an float mounted their print. I used hinges on the top of the print but the print has fallen down slightly, the tape came away from the art and not the back board it was mounted to. The print is on a thin g...

Re: Large print - T hinging and spacer only?
Great, thanks for this sketch. I’ll be using this strip method and have my chisels out.
I agreed to not dry mount so this is all really helpful.

Re: Large print - T hinging and spacer only?
Thanks Justintime.
The print is full width/length so will sit under the spacer. I'll definitely do the hinging through the mount as you suggest.
A bit new to framing so sorry for the ignorance but can you explain Y hinging.

Large print - T hinging and spacer only?
Hello all,
I am framing an image 1500mm x 1000mm with a spacer and subframe.
Do you think that T-hinging and the spacer is sufficient for an image that large? How far between would you apply the hinges?

Subframe fixing methods
Hello,
I am framing a very large print and making a subframe. What are the best tried and tested methods for fixing the subframe together and for fixing it to the moulding?
I was thinking lap joints or biscuit joints for the frame itself. Any advice would be great.
