The sizes are 24x30 inch. So what should be the depth of floater frames to fit them right? I am doing this new so really confused.

They are quite heavy and I'd be scared to trust 4 dabs of glue. These need to be screwed in place even though it means screwing into the back of my painting. I just love float frames for presentation.

All you have to do is mount the panel to a black board, and then install the board into the frame. Mat board is a popular choice. Though, if you go that route, you'll have to use odd-sized panels. For example, if you had a 9x12 readymade frame, you would use a 9x12 piece of black mat board and an 8.5x11.5 panel (you need to use a slightly smaller panel to account for the 1/8" spacing along the edges). Going with odd-sized panels seems like a much more difficult route to me, as those would have to be custom made.

Using some pressure from the back side of the panel, you can pop the painting off. Use your fingernails to peel any glue off of the panel. <br /><br />Make sure to use pea-sized blobs of glue. It will make removal easier. If your panel has a paper backing you will lose some of the paper, but the board itself will be fine. If your panel has bare wood on the back side it will be just fine. MDF or hardboard is hit or miss. I've had some panels come off pristine, and some have a slightly thin layer of the board peel off. Nothing that would comprimize the integrity of the panel though, just purely cosmetic. <br /><br />If you get a floater frame from a professional frame shop, they tend to glue the panel to a slightly larger board before framing. Same glue, and I've peeled those off before. Same issue, cosmetic marks on the back. Nothing to worry about.Matt Sterbenzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17158911662207106106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6433171442200094173.post-90299569499282097812015-07-25T08:48:30.059-07:002015-07-25T08:48:30.059-07:00Great post, thanks for taking the time to do it. ...Great post, thanks for taking the time to do it.
