Re: Mount chevron display
Just before Christmas I got a full set of the Larson Juhl samples and it came with a fairly sturdy acrylic stand.

Re: Liquid Metal Metallic Paints
Hi guys, thanks for all the replies - Some really good things to consider. I totally forgot the 'Gilding for Dummies' post!!! I've went back to that and I'm going to give it a try, however the gold size seller won't ship to my address. I've found another product and listed it below - would this be a...

Liquid Metal Metallic Paints
I have a few little things I want to make for sample pieces for the shop - I'd like to offer some basic hand finished stuff. Nothing fancy just something offer colours that wouldn't usually be available. Personally I really like nice metallic gold sight edges but I'm not sure on the best method or p...

Re: Mounting CDs
For records etc we usually use paper fasteners. I'd like to think they'd also work with CD's - I can't remember the size of the hole though

Re: Pricing multi-window mounts on a CMC with software.
This is interesting - pricing multiple apertures is a grey area for us in some sense. Most of the stuff we do would only be a few so adding on a few £'s is fine and acceptable but if we had a 27 aperture job and asked £250 for the mount alone I reckon the person would just walk out the door. Don't g...

Re: hand mount cutter advice
If it's at the start of the cut it might be a hooking issue? Are you sure your blade depth is set correctly? Do you have any photos of the cuts?

Re: Framing Medals
Indeed, the forum needs a reboot & this sort of post (not mine but the subject) is what we need - some real work stuff again. Framing medals that are removable have been a real bugbear of mine. It's not an idea solution but what I usually do is glue mountboard to some MDF and then screw some sma...

Re: Morso/Underpinner angles
How many blades do you have? I've been framing 10 years and I'm still using the two sets of second hand blades I got with the Morso. At the moment I've got three sets. Any blades that I don't like I get them sharpened and sell on eBay. They usually don't make that much though but it still helps wit...

Re: Morso/Underpinner angles
In my experience anytime I've ever had an issue with cuts/joins and I know that my underpinner & morso are set correctly it's always been the blades. If I have a set of blades that aren't right I just buy a new set, it might sound excessive but it's not worth all the wasted time fiddling about.

Re: sizing issue
It's an easy mistake to make - I'm saying that from experience. I never make anything for anyone now if I don't measure it myself. Even if the customer is reading their 'measuring instrument' correctly it might not tally with the measurements here in the shop. We cut mounts for a photo shop local to...

Re: Morso Adjustment of Height
Hi, yes it's possible. If you look behind your Morso you'll see a long threaded bar, near the bottom you'll see two nuts that determine the height, you can make the adjustments by moving the position of those. (if that makes sense)
88mm will be pretty tight though

Re: Adhesive Roll
Actually, I've had a look at that product (PMDS25082), apparently it works with MDF which sounds great. Does anyone know I could use it for mounting the cheap holiday oil paintings onto MDF. I've never had any luck with self adhesive methods regarding canvas on MDF. We usually use PVA but it takes t...
