Basics Of Picture Framing Dublin

By April Briggs


Once you have made a design and ordered a frame material and their supplies, you will begin to think about framing the designs. Preferably work in a flat area like a large table or a kitchen counter. Protect the picture with either a Kraft paper, table pad or a corrugated board. People of Ireland working in picture framing Dublin and those who want to make an elegant picture frames, are required to follow some procedures.

All the packages that have been ordered for the work are opened and assembled neatly to simplify the work. Make a confirmation to see whether all the items that you ordered have been delivered and also do not throw the materials used for packaging until your design has been framed to your satisfaction. When the packaging is delivered, check to see if they have given you the instructions for framing.

The essentials for the process include linen tape, acrylic cleaner, wire and screw driver. These ones are gathered together in an organized manner. There are other tools which are available in doing the job but they are not necessary and one can still go on without them and succeed in doing a commendable job of framing.

Begin by fixing your art to the back of the foam core then tape or hinge the mat sheet to this mat board or the form core according to your preference. Then set them aside as you perform other 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.

If you are working with a metallic frame you should choose side and also the bottom rails to be placed facing down on the surface you are working in. The corner brackets are to be inserted and tightened. The art is slid within the partly assembled frame. Frame treatment is also placed face down then top rail inserted and the corners tightened. Spring clips are put beneath the frame for a nice and also tight fit. Bumpers and hanging ware are attached last.

For those assembling a wooden frame the good news is that in the case of breadth and length less than or equal to 54 inches the suppliers deliver it already assembled. It is placed face down and the art also inserted into it face down. Clips are used to secure the piece of art inside. The nest thing to do is to screw in the wire and hanging hardware. Point drivers are used by some framers in the securing of the art. A tape with both sides sticky is run along edges of the frame and Kraft paper attached to it.

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.
