FrameSpace® and EconoSpace® Tips and Ideas
Tips and Ideas for using FrameSpace and EconoSpace in all types of picture framing situations.

5. This may be the answer to the frame job that requires a piece of glass both front and back while still allowing the necessary air-space for conservation grade framing and keeping art from buckling. The Framespace is attached to the BACK piece of glass, the art is hinged with T-hinges to the back glass. After the frame is completely together and squeaky clean, remove one side of the frame at a time - face down - and apply a small bead of silicone glue to the edge of the Framespace. Put the frame piece back on, take off the next side, glue, etc.

Our new FS 1/4" Double will make this type of job very quick and easy. It also seals the whole glass and art package (except at the very corners) from intrusion of dust and critters. In wood frames cut the allowance tight and use a small bead of clear hot melt glue all around the back to hold the whole package in.

6. This shows a very popular way of framing needle art. It's usually much easier to stretch over polyester quilt batting or foam than to stretch "hard" over stretcher bars or board. Cut the glass the same size as the finished stretch job and stack the glass with the Framespace attached onto the piece. Check for dust then slide into a metal frame or drop a wood frame over it and you're done.
