Picture Framing and Frame Joining
Home » Digital Cameras » Picture Framing » Picture Framing and Frame JoiningWhen it is time to join all the frames pieces together, you would bring the mitered corners together so that both sides come together as close as possible. Next, you will take a V-Nail (v shaped staples) and insert it at the joint location. The V-Nail would be inserted in the back of the frame at each corner. This will secure the corners and keep them from separating. They also prevent injury when handling the frame. When you place the V-Nail into the molding in the back of the frame, make sure it catches or you may find the frame splitting apart on you if you don’t. The best type of tool for inserting V-Nails is a tool called PushMaster. It is not only an insertion tool but it is also a joining tool. When a V-Nail is inserted into the corners of the frame, the sides of the V-nails are deflected outwards. When it pulls back into place the join comes together. The curl in the edge of the V-Nail locks the nail in place.
