How to Assemble Picture Frame Molding381
As a leading manufacturer of edgebanding in China, we understand the importance of high-quality picture frame molding. Properly assembled molding can enhance the appearance of any artwork, photograph, or document. Here's a comprehensive guide on how to assemble picture frame molding:
Materials Required:* Picture frame molding
* Miter saw or miter box
* Wood glue
* Clamps
* Measuring tape or ruler
* Pencil or marking tool
Step 1: Measure and Mark the Molding* Measure the perimeter of the artwork, photograph, or document you want to frame.
* Add 4 inches to the length of each side to allow for mitered corners.
* Mark the measurement on each piece of molding using a pencil or marking tool.
Step 2: Cut the Molding at a 45-Degree Angle* Set up your miter saw or miter box to cut a 45-degree angle.
* Hold the molding securely and cut it at the marked length.
* Repeat the process for the other three pieces of molding.
Step 3: Dry Fit the Molding* Place the four pieces of molding together in a square or rectangle, forming the frame.
* Check if the corners fit together snugly. If not, adjust the angle of the cuts slightly.
Step 4: Apply Wood Glue* Apply a thin layer of wood glue to the mitered edges of each piece of molding.
* Spread the glue evenly using your finger or a small brush.
Step 5: Assemble the Frame* Bring the pieces of molding together and press them firmly into place.
* Use clamps to hold the frame together while the glue dries.
* Allow the glue to cure for at least 30 minutes before removing the clamps.
Step 6: Secure the Back of the Frame* Cut a piece of cardboard or foam core to fit the back of the frame.
* Place the backing inside the frame and secure it using nails or staples.
* Attach hanging hardware to the back of the frame.
Step 7: Insert the Artwork* Place the artwork, photograph, or document inside the frame.
* Secure the artwork using acid-free tape or mounting corners.
Additional Tips:* For a more secure assembly, you can reinforce the mitered corners with small nails or brads.
* If the frame is too large for your miter saw or miter box, you can use a coping saw or a hand saw to cut the angles.
* You can add a decorative touch to the frame by staining or painting it.
* To protect the frame and artwork from dust and moisture, you can cover the back of the frame with glass or acrylic.
