Help required, by Viva Hate on Jun 12, 2007 15:51:16 GMT 1, Just going to frame my amp prints, my framer suggests I stick the spacers to the frame, but others on this forum have stuck it to the glass, which way is correct?
Thanks

Yes, the same way you took them out.
It's possible that because you've put the spacers and print in that the clips won't fit anymore because the ridge they slide into is too close to the backboard. I've had this happen on a couple of prints I've framed. If that is the case and you can't use thinner spacers, the easiest option is to tape up the back rather than use the clips.

Ideally, get some tacks or framer's points to secure the backboard and then tape it. Though, I'm guessing you probably don't have any tacks at home. Therefore, if you can get the original corners back in and then tape it, IMO that should do the job for the time being.
I've got a couple framed like that at the moment and they've been fine for the last 6 months, though I keep meaning to pick up some tacks and finish the job properly.

Help required, by corblimeylimey on Jun 12, 2007 19:05:23 GMT 1, My framer replaced the habitat backing hardboard with some acid free rigid cardboard type material called Corrie-Cor and it was held in place by framers points, thay had a device similar to a staple gun that fired the points into the frame.
If the job is too tricky, a framer won't charge much for supplying the backing board, cutting it to size and securing it with framers points.

Though, if you want to keep the whole operation in-house, you can pick up corrie-cor or similar conservation backing from a good framing suppliers. Alternatively, an even cheaper solution is to get a sheet of acid free paper/card and stick it between the print and the habitat backboard.
