Art Restoration in LONDON ๐ฌ๐ง Who do you Recommend?, by jackstranger on Jun 6, 2010 0:51:09 GMT 1, Thank you craigf, in this case the print would be 'taped' on the back with a special tape to a big archival mount sheet, and then a square mount around the print, so the museum glass would not touch it. This tape 'glues' in both sides of it, and I was assured it to be harmless. It is very thin and seems not to be strong at all. I see so many works framed this way in here. Do you think this is bad for the print? (I think this is float mount and not dry mount?!?!?) There are people on here that know about what sort of tape to use and others use corners so there is no adhesive on the print at all. What you describe is the normal way most prints are framed. I am sure if I checked most of mine will have been done this way. That said the last ones I had framed used no adhesives at all, which for me is the best option
Thank you again 
I will check with the framers more details prior to advance with the process.
However, I tend to trust them as they run their business from about 20 years and they work with galleries, artists and for the Presidential Palace too. But it is my artwork and I need to be sure...

Art Restoration in LONDON ๐ฌ๐ง Who do you Recommend?, by frankm888 on Mar 9, 2011 13:36:07 GMT 1, Hi all, hoping someone could recommend a good print restorer in London? I've bought a print that was supposed to be mint but is a little bit "wave-y" as if it's been rolled up for too long and it has a crease as well.
I've tried flattening it myself by putting it in acid-free and placing books on top of it but was thinking that perhaps there's a professional out there that could help me get it in top condition again?
Grateful for any tips in the Greater London area.
Cheers!

Google Graham Bignell. Take it to him. Don't bother with competitive quotes. He's the best (and very reasonable).

When rolled flat it has four nasty C shaped creases down the right hand side.
I was thinking about putting it in a heated press at college but not sure if the paper fibers will be left marked.
It will be OK in a mount but annoying all the same, Thanks for that HB, will call them.

I've had a varying degree of success - the latest project is to try and untangle my 'Flags' after the wife shredded it by accident (so she said)

honestly i think his prices and timescale are reasonable, you're lucky you live in london, i have added time/costs of packing and shipping both ways and hes still cheaper and 5 times faster than the top restorer over here. What is it you need sorted?
