Generating Photo Frames Tips
9 x 12 frame There are actually five effortless steps to framing. Step 1 - Ways to Reduce Mats Incorporating a colour border (the mat) around your artwork improves the image and presents a restful location among the impression and the photo frame. The colour and measurement from the mat board must be decided initial, as this may ascertain the overall dimensions of your image body. You begin by calculating the external measurement from the mat. picture frame sizes To cut the mat make use of a top quality bevel mat cutter and ruler. You will discover several chopping systems to fit different budgets and skill amounts, including the Mat Grasp Model 660 to the hobbyists, towards the Mat Master 860B or 1060B to the keen dwelling photograph framer. Mark the borders for being reduce about the back of the mat board. Make sure the mat will include the sides on the artwork, by subtracting approx. 3mm or 1/8" within the impression size (size & width). Cut the mat following the instructions for your mat cutter. Attach the image on the mat using 2 small pieces of acid free tape about the top edge only. Action 2 - Tips on how to Slice the picture Body How much photograph frame moulding material will I need? Carefully measure the picture and mat you wish to body. Add an extra (3mm) for "play" to ensure the image fits easily into the finished image frame. Add the length (L) and width (W) together, then multiply the total by 2 to give you the general length. You also have to allow for that mitre cuts, so multiply the width (W2) on the moulding by 10 and add this to your total. (L W) x 2 (W2 x 10) = TOTAL Creating the 45 degree mitre lower in your framing material is most important - your joining will only be as great as your reducing. Always utilize a top quality manual Mitre Saw... we recommend the Proman hand saw which is made in Sweden as the best around the market. Electric powered Drop Saws are not ideal for reducing small delicate photograph frames. Good Measure System helps to make measuring effortless and eliminates many mistakes. Once you have lower the initially mitre, slide the picture frame material along for the required length to the measuring scale, and set the stop. You are now ready to cut the to start with 2 pieces within your image frame. Change the settings to cut the other 2 sides from the body. Cutting one side for a body is effortless. Cutting the second side for being be the same as the to start with, is the hard part. With the FrameCo Ezy-Measure System you can slice accurately every time. Phase 3 - Tips on how to Clamp Frames How do you Clamp the Body? Clamping the body tightly is essential for excellent joining. You can use the a Cord Clamp, or the Steel Strap Clamp to secure the picture frame ready for joining. The advantage from the Strap Clamp is that you can see all the four corners with the image body clamped together before joining. So alignment with the corners is effortless. All corners should match up evenly. Apply a little wood glue to all corners of the frame for added strength. Carefully tension the clamp producing guaranteed that the corners are aligned then secure the clamp tightly. You are now ready for joining. Phase 4 - The way to Join Frames Most image frames are joined with a V-Nail. This is the easiest method and it is what the professional picture framer uses. The FrameCo PushMaster joining tool, inserts V-Nails into the corner from the frame. Two V-Nails in each corner is usually all that is necessary. The PushMaster can be used by hand alone on most image frames, or you can tap the PushMaster with a mallet if the frame is hardwood. The PushMaster can be upgraded towards the BenchMaster® which will insert V-Nails into the harderst of timbers. V-nails: How do they work? Upon entry, the sides with the V-Nail are deflected outwards. As it pulls again into its original shape, the join is pulled together. The little curl about the edge from the V-Nail locks the nail into the grain of the timber. Glue alone is not sufficient for strong stable joints, by including a V-Nail you achieve a strong, tight joint. Which V-Nail sizing . . . You make use of a V-Nail about 1/2 the frame height. Sizes are: 7mm - 1/4", 10mm - 3/8", 12mm - 1/2", 15mm - 5/8" Action 5 - Tips on how to Finish Frames Take the empty photograph body to a glass merchant and have them lower a piece of glass for you. If you wish to cut glass yourself utilize a top quality oil filled cutter, or the Glass Cutter. Use only 2mm plain or non-reflective glass. Fome Core is the ideal backing board as it is light weight, acid free and uncomplicated to cut. You can also use 3mm MDF or cardboard. Place the empty frame face down and insert the glass, then the matted image and lastly the backing board. Use the PushMaster to insert brads or flexipoints into the rear of your respective image body to hold everything in place. Use Backing Nails for large frames or heavy items. Flexipoints are flexible and ideal for needlework or when you want to re move the image, eg. photo frames. To seal the artwork in the body, tape over the brads/flexipoints using a very good quality backing tape. This may prevent dust or insects getting into the picture. |
