Our resident picture framer Judy tested another of our new supplies and was surprised by how much she liked it.  See her thoughts below.

Paper Back Trimming Knife: This tool is used for trimming paper dust covers on wood frames. The outer plastic edge “rides” along the outside of the frame and functions as a guide for the blade.  The blade sits on top of the dust cover, at a consistent 1/16” in from the frame edge.

Wow, what a great tool, I love it!  Just apply some gentle inward pressure as you pull the blade along the length of the frame.  It’s a much safer way to trim dust covers – no cut fingers, no slipped blades, no potential damage to the frame.  It helped me to create a clean and professional looking dust cover.

Our resident picture framer Judy tested one of our new supplies and endorses it with a hearty thumbs up.  See her thoughts below.

Kimwipes Low Lint Wipers. These disposable cloths can be used for cleaning acrylic or glass and for wiping frames.

I found them to be sturdier than a bathroom tissue but less dense than a paper towel.  They come 90 wipes to a box and the box dispenses cloths just like a Kleenex box – very handy.

Each cloth measures about 14×16” so it can be folded over several times to get a fresh and clean surface.  I used one cloth while assembling several framed art projects.  It didn’t tear or get over-wet, nor did it scrunch up like a paper towel would.  And best of all – NO LINT!  This feature alone saves lot of time.
