heavy

The frames were now ready to put the posters in, which we had bought on our trip to Paris a couple of Christmas’s ago. We had got some glass cut, which now needed a good clean. I did this simply with water and a glass cloth, not wanting to leave anything on the glass that could harm the posters. Brian stuck a strip of insulation around the inside edges of the frames where the glass met them, to help prevent dust getting into them once they are up.

When this was done we carefully laid the glass in, and positioned the posters on top. They had needed trimming slightly before we placed them in the frames. We fitted the back boards, and finally it was all sealed with some framers tape. It was a very diligent job, and needed lots of care, with us both being involved .

They are ready to put up now, however we are concerned a normal picture hook will not do the job, as now they are completed they are quite weighty. So we have ordered some Z hooks, which are used to hang heavy items on the wall. Just need to wait for them to be delivered now.
