Thank you! Our cutter came off the box and we were struggling to re-install it correctly. If using the roll outside of the box, don't cut the tape flush. Instead, leave extra length of backing beyond the filmoplast. This makes it much easier to separate the backing from your next piece.
Is there any easy way by manually bending that consumers can get the bowing out of the sides of the boxes?
It is the nature of the material and the dimensions of these boxes that sometimes they bow. Some boxes more than others. If you manually try to bend the creases they will crack and weaken the seam, though it may decrease the bowing. Please contact customer service if you are unhappy with your purchase. We accept returns if the box has not been altered.
This was amazingly interesting. Watched the whole thing. Lovely to see the expert persnicketiness behind these products.
Lovely to see the behind the scenes, you always wonder if it is just a warehouse. but you do the whole thing, thank you. Charles
are museum boards like the backside piece of the framing? I have found no thing called museum board in my country help
Our Museum Board is an archival mat board that is 100% cotton fiber. It is acid-free and lignin-free and buffered. It can be used for a number of things but is most often used to mat prints for a portfolio or for a framed piece.
I use these boards as a substrate for my art work. I love working on it with colour pencils as well as graphite pencils. The only problem I run into is removing unwanted marks from my colour pencil off the board. Like when I accidentally drop the pencil or smudge pencils where I want it to remain white. Do you have any tips on what makes the best easer for this. I’ve tried a few types but can never get it off. When using this as my substitute instead of other cotton papers there’s no room for mistakes or accidents. Would love to know if there is anything that works extremely well at removing a dot/smudge of pencils! Thank you
100% Cotton Museum Board uses only alkaline surface sizing as specified in national archival standards for this type of mat board. The cotton fiber is 99% alpha cellulose and will absorb the color pencil deep into the fiber, providing excellent tone depth. Therefore, removing the pencil, as you stated, is more complicated. We do not have any specific recommendation other than to have a variety of erasers on hand, such as: Erasers made of natural rubber, vinyl eraser, and kneaded eraser. You will need different erasers when erasing different types of pencils or graphite.
@@ArchivalMethods thank you. I do have the eraser you mentioned but I’ve also just ordered some more in different brands as some are can be better in quality. I also ordered an eraser that is supposed to help remove any adhesive residue left behind on the paper from masking tap. As one of my pieces was left ideal for too long and I didn’t remove the tape and surrounding print paper I had on it to protect the rest of it while I wasn’t working on it. I don’t know if it will help or make it worse on the mount board so I will test it on a scrap piece first. The other thing that happened was the white area I didn’t have covered is a different colour to the crisp white that was covered. So essentially this piece I spent 100’s of hours on is un sellable. I knew I should have removed the tape and covered up while I couldn’t work on it too🤦♀️ It’s such a beautiful base to work on and I just love having 100% cotton sheets that are so thick and sturdy as rmb (I use 4 ply) and in such large size options, it’s only downside for someone like me right now is it’s price (I’m on disability and only just lunching my art practice) I totally understand it’s price, it’s just a bummer for me at this time. There isn’t much options here in Australia for a replacement option that has the surface and thickness of rmb. But I keep searching. I have found something close but with international shipping that cost more than the roll of this paper is more expensive haha. I wish we had a larger range of art and framing supplies/options here. I do have 2 more question if you don’t mind. Any helpful tips or advice about anything to do with rising mount board you’d be happy to share? And I also just ordered a small roll of frisket low tack masking film-I thought perhaps using that instead of sheets of paper and low tack tape, to cover the entire areas I want to stay clean, do you think that would be safe to use? I will of course test it on spare piece first. If it’s no good I can still use it on the arches watercolour paper I sometimes use for my pencil art which is what it’s commonly used on. Thanks again so much for your reply. I really appreciate it. 😊
Can you please guide where to find this archival sheets and box for preserving magazines
Also what would be the best storage media to keep scanned copies of them too? I know that some things can be really expensive like certain tape drives then there are DVDs and hard drives. I would highly recommend scanning them all in TIFF format in a very high resolution. Got a scanner that can do 4800 DPI and not just for small things like photos? Use it! If you are worried about the space these files take up just realize that they are often compressed but with a lossless algorithm like LZW and not a lossy one similar to JPEG which is known to have some artifacts which can reduce the quality of an scan or image if there are too many of them. Make no mistake, JPEG is great for allowing fairly quick image downloading but when it comes to preserving ALL the detail use TIFF. What would we do if Aldus (now bought by Adobe) had never created the TIFF format? I guess we would be using the BMP and PNG formats more. I am no artist or expert but I do know at least all of that which I just mentioned.
Multiple copies on hard drives stored in different locations is recommended.
6 years and no comments lemme fix that

I am looking for 21 x 34 cm sleeves for large documents. any suggestion where i can find ?
Archival Methods does not have the size you are looking for. Our primary market is the USA and I am not familiar with the available in Europe. Sorry.
where can i buy sleeves like this in europe ?
You could try Preservation Equipment in the U.K.
@@ArchivalMethods any link ?
Would this box fit a quilt? Charles
It depends on the size and thickness of the quilt. When storing any textile the fewer folds the better, because they are most susceptible to damage at the folds. You could try folding the quilt and measuring it to see if it would fit within the box dimensions. In January we plan to launch another Textile Kit with a larger box.
@@ArchivalMethods excellent. I will do that.
Hi! I can't find any information about the metal edges used on archival boxes anywhere online. Can you buy them separately? What kind of tool is used to crimp them on boards?
Archival Methods metal edge boxes use an industrial box-making product called "Fastay". The metal edging is stamped onto the archival grade box board using a machine called "Air-Stayer" which weighs 850 lbs and requires a 240 volt electrical supply and air supply of 100 psi. The metal edge cannot be applied with hand tools. www.archivalmethods.com/

I have to sale old letter of Gandhi ji famous leader of India but how and where I don't know please guide me

The insertion of the back plate and tapped corner is not shown, you see only the finished assembly. You put the back plate in first, be careful the free end points in the right direction, then the tapped corner. You may need to back the screws out a bit to get the tapped corner to go in. The back plate has a 'B' on it and the tapped corner has an 'A' on it. The letters should face each other. You then drive the screws in to force the plates apart to grip the frame from the inside. There are only two screws in each tapped plate, the narrator says four, he is referring to the two corners of the bottom rail. You do not assemble the fourth side before adding the Omni Hangers for the wire. They must be slid into the channels on the two side rails from open ends. The Omni Hangers do not just tip into place, they must be slid under the rail on both ends. You do not put the Omni Hangers on then put the wire on. The Omni Hangers are put onto the frame sides and a proper length of wire is fit. Start by bending over about 1 1/2" of wire and hook it into one Omni Hanger. Bring the wire across to the other Omni Hanger and adjust to the slack that you want, then bend the other end over at that point and cut the free end off at about 1 1/2" length. You can't twist the wire properly when it is on the frame; you must take both Omni Hangers off the rails. At each end, grab the two wires between two fingers, or between the faces of a spring clothespin, and twist the Omni Hanger until the free end of the wire is completely twisted around the standing end. Then do the other end. The wire must be free to rotate, so it can't be attached to the frame. Once both ends are twisted, the Omni Hangers may be slid onto the side rails. Then you can insert the picture stack and attach the fourth side of the frame. You may not need the spring clips. The combined thickness of the glazing, mat, picture, mount board and Foamcore may be a snug fit. Check the dimensions of the materials to be sure they will fit within the channel. Two of my four, supposedly identical, stacks would not go into the channels until I compressed the edges of the Foamcore by pressing it with a block of wood. If you use 1/16" thick board for your backing, you will need the spring clips. There is a trick to getting them in. You slide one end under the rail, depress the center and push it in, then, while holding the center down with one screw driver, slide the other end in with another screw driver, holding the face against the back board to avoid gouging the board.
Good idea.Still we have some questions.Pls send your email
I am in the understanding that unbuffered paper was the best to use with photography?
Exactly!
Great to see that... I made it too. Using woodprix handbooks :)
Im sure you can build it too guys. Just look for Woodprix page
I talk with some archivists and they told me that ANY kind of plastic (mylar, poly... etc.) is not good for paper, is better use other papers like ones that you have.
Archival papers and plastics both have their place in protecting documents and art work if they meet ISO standards. Archivists can have different standards based on the collection they are charged with protecting. Archival papers must meet standards such as International Standard for "permanent" paper ISO 9706 and for "archival" paper, the standard is ISO 11108. Photographic materials storage specifications are cover by ISO 18902 “Imaging materials - Processed and printed imaging materials - Photo safety specification for chemical and physical interactivity for albums, framing, and storage materials”. It states “Suitable plastic enclosure materials are polyester polystyrene, polyethylene, polypropylene, have good chemical stability.
Thank you for the response!

Great to see that... I made it too. Using woodprix handbooks :)
I check a lot of woodworking handbooks. These one from woodprix are the best.
Was wondering won't the polythene bag cause condensation? Can't I just put them in the boxes? Thanks
It is perfectly acceptable to just use a archival acid free box. If you use a polyethylene bag we recommend folding the flap, do not use any tape. Condensation is primarily caused by temperature changes and a sealed enclosure. Make sure you collection is in a temperature and humidity controlled room avoid basements and attics. If needed you can use a re-usable desiccant inside the box.
I can make it myself. Just got instructions from woodprix website and I'm ready for do it :D
