I have been using these guys material for years. I frame professionally and use several hundred feet a year. Good stuff. I also use foam core trimmed to size and glued to the frame as well wooden spacers that I get from one of my hardwoods suppliers - Picturewoods. The plastic is easy to size and self adhesive. The channel space group works well but I find I need a full 1/8 inch allowance on the glass to frame fit if I use that. --- In DigitalBlackandWhiteThePrint@yahoogroups.com, "hflockwood" <hflockwood@...> wrote: > > I've decided to try framing some prints without a cover matte.
