hi all,

just been fixing a door at the office and it fell onto the top of my newly framed ian francis !!!!


it basically knocked into the frame so there are 2 x dents on the top of that frame

i suppose luckily its only the top part of the frame and is this something that can be easily swapped out ??


the framing was done by john jones so its the real deal in terms of framing,

any advice more than welcome before i speak to mr jones !!!

cheers

Jones might just be able to replace jut the dented part of wood with a new piece rather then the whole thing. Lucky you didn't have the glass break and damage the artwork.

V nails are a pig to remove and possibly glued too so without breaking the entire frame and reducing its size I don't think so but maybe someone with more experience than me would have other ideas. Good luck though dude.

hopefully its just the top baton of the frame that can be replaced

luckily enough its UV acrylic as its over 1 meter wide, i think from this lesson learnt

thanks FL

You can't just swap out wood rails. If they are metal you can.

Old framers trick... couple sheets of wet paper towels laid on the dent and then use a steam iron on it. Depending on how hard the wood is you might have to do it many times. Marker or paint to fix the color.
