The Framers Forum

Ahhhh.... I know where I've gone wrong. Because it was a sample I was doing I didn't glue it as I normally do. Thank you!

I have a float moulding with a narrow face and deep rebate. The foot of my trusty CS88 isn't sufficient to hold the narrow moulding in place to be underpinned. Any suggestions would be welcome please (is this when I would use a band clamp)? Thank you.

many thanks for replies. I ordered some Rub and Buff yesterday so all good to go. The frame in question really was a difficult one to work with... I think I need to stick with simpler designs from now on!

I'm after a bit of advice please. I have a moulding (which has been a bit of a mare)... one corner a tiny bit open and which I would like to fill. I would say there are three colours - antique and 'ordinary' gold and a sort of dark grey gold. (It's one of Larson Juhls' fancy frames). I am trying to ...

Thanks MitreMan!

Thanks for replies.. much appreciated!

Can anyone please tell me an easy way to raise a canvas in float frame?

Thank you!

Good evening

Could anyone point me in the direction of canvas/tray mouldings for canvas minatures. I have three to frame and he's keen on ornate, gold mouldings. I have found a couple of plain canvas mouldings in the Lion catalogue but need some more ornate ones. Many thanks.

That's great, many thanks for this. I also love your idea of fellow artisans handing out your leaflets from their market stalls; a great idea!

Many thanks for your advice.

Good morning! Can anyone recommend a professional but fairly priced company who deal with back of frame labels? (I guess I would be looking for recycled/kraft type labels). Also, what detail do peeps tend to put on the label? I know I could do my own but I would be looking for something a little mor...

OK John, many thanks. Will seek out the Bbest Sub Forum.

Many thanks for Bbest replies. Is it simple to use? I really am not looking for an all singing, all dancing package. I just want to keep it simple.. as long as it can calculate each work ticket (and I'm guessing it will take both Wessex and Lion detail). I know I can update to Estlite from Bbest if ...

OK, many thanks for your reply. And a HNY to you!

Many thanks for your reply; much appreciated!

Hi there

Can anyone please tell me the marked differences between Estlite and BBest? - I am looking for a simple package but understand they're both relatively simple to use. As far as I can tell, most people use Estlite.

Thank you and wishing you all a peaceful Yultide holiday.

Good morning! Does anyone have or know where I can get hold of any extension arms for a Cassese CS88? Thank you kindly.

Great, many thanks for your words of confidence!

Thanks all for you sage advice.. will take on board everything which has been said.

That's fine Justintime..... no probs.... I don't advertise the fact as I'm not framing for Joe Public at the present time. Maybe one day down the line!

Post by JFeig » Mon 21 Aug, 2023 2:39 pm Thanks JFeig for suggesting a custom painted bevel or slip - I will look into this. Justintime.. thanks so much for your suggestions but I am a professional framer who has had professional training from a professional framer.. it was really just to see if any...
