An Overview Of Picture Framing Dublin
After getting your supplies and frame materials then it is time to get down and do the actual work of framing. This starts with choosing the space you will be working from. It is recommended that this should be a clean and flat surface like a large table of the counter tops in the kitchen. The work surface should be protected using a Kraft paper, a corrugated board or a table pad. The following are the basics of picture framing Dublin.
The package containing the materials you need in order to do this are opened up and organized. Make sure to check and confirm that all that you ordered is included just as per your order. The materials used in packaging should not be thrown away until the work of framing is done to satisfaction and hung up.
Assemble needed tools for you to work easily without distractions. Make sure that you have also gathered the essential tools like screw driver, wire, linen tape and also acrylic cleaner. You can order some other tools and accessories from the online market in Ireland to simplify your work but this is not really important.
Start to fix your art designs at the back of foam core then tape or even hinge a mat sheet to the mat board or foam core. Choose one that you prefer. Then keep them aside as you do other remaining procedures.
The next step is preparation of acrylic. This is done by peeling a side of protective liner from the side that will come into contact with the piece of art. The peeled side is placed side down on the assembly of the art and the other side is peeled off. In the case where the acrylic been used has ultra violet or non-glaring properties then the side to face up is usually indicated on package.
Next step is that of framing. If you are using metal frame, start with its bottom and the side rails placing them facing down on your counter or surface. Next slide your art frame to the half assembled frame. Place that frame treatment facing down and then insert its top tail fixing all corners. Next insert the clips beneath the frame channel to give it a good, tight fit. Then attach bumpers and hanging hardware.
If the frame you are working with is wooden then it is delivered assembled if its matted length and width is fifty four or less. You proceed from putting it face down and then placing the art face down on inside it too. The art is secured within using clips. The hanging hardware and wires are then screwed. Some framers use point drivers for securing the art into the frame. To get a finished look at the back a double stick tape is run along edges of the frame and a Kraft paper attached. The excess is trimmed off and hanging ware and bumpers attached.
Before hanging it is recommended to always polish the finished work using a squirts of acrylic cleaner made of Novus. The polishing works to ensure that the picture looks great and presentable which is of course the ultimate goal of any art framer.
