Re: Art glass

We can all only assume a lot because the OP hasn’t shared a photo nor shown or described the way s/he has dealt with similar in the past.

Re: Energy contracts

"Too good to be true" and "pressured" are a couple of alarm bells, it could still be OK though.

Are there any trustpilot (or other) reviews for the broker, the provider or the particular deal? Have a look at money saving expert dot com as well, the site and its forum.

Re: Glazing choices...

I think it's a bit risky, especially in a holiday cottage, it'll get more handlng (cleaning) than a normal home for a start. It could/should be security hung though, which would make it safer - glass rarely falls out of a frame when broken anyway. It would be acryclic for me, at least 4mm, preferabl...

Re: Artwork is shedding. What can I suggest to the artist?

The shock of the point gun, and especially the staple gun for the back, doesn't help. I'd tell the artist that prevention is better than cure and to sort out a way of ensuring nothing falls off, maybe with the type of gel that they use to preserve flowers for framing, or something. I wonder, as you ...

Re: Double mount, coloured bevels

Do both! Draw some random lines across the back of the boards, stick together, margin area lightly, fall out area properly. Once painted and dried, to reassemble put double fallout face down and fit largest aperture over it with registration marks aligned then fix the smaller aperture to it over its...

Re: Double mount, coloured bevels

Well I've never done it, but I have had to take apart a double mount and re-assemble it with a mount slip between the two mounts and eyeball that, many times - no other choice really. But I suppose for this, if you made sure the fallout areas were stuck together good and proper before cutting, you'd...

Re: Double mount, coloured bevels

Cut the double mount as normal but only stick it together with two small dabs of DS tape so it will come apart easily. Paint both bevels and stick mounts together permanently when dry, you just have to eyeball the reveal If you haven’t tried it without masking, watch this video from about 18:30. htt...

Re: Maintenance of Euro underpinner?

The bolts marked red remove the top of the V Nail block/guide. I think the yellow ones hold the block together and the blue one adjusts hammer height.

The ones marked here remove the whole assembly for cleaning and lubricating, especially the hammer chute and return spring.

Re: Best wire for stitching fabric works

OIC Has this thing got elephants and lots of sequins by any chance? I wouldn’t lace that sort of thing, I’d pin to foam board, or foam board bonded to mount board, then support sew or tag, or a combination. I think any needle that would work for wire would be about the same as a tag gun needle. It’s...

I’ve no idea what you mean, I laced thousands of pieces of needlework over the years and “billowing forward” isn’t a thing!

Re: Fixing to glass - options sought please?

I can only assume the glove is mounted to board the same size as, or just bigger than it and you want to float mount that to see through the frame?

Anyway, whatever the reason, something like no nails would do, otherwise just experiment with what you have on scraps.

(Edit) Posted same time as you.

Re: Fixing to glass - options sought please?

So you have mounted the glove to mount board and now want to put glass behind that and fix the board the glove is mounted on, to that????

Re: Help us, by reporting Spam posts

I think I reported the first one too, (but nobody thanked me :-( ) I also made a comment.

This time I just made a comment and that was because it was the same member, he wasn't removed and still has not been.
