Frequently Asked Questions

Foil Art Care - Proper Matting, Framing and Preservation Instructions
©

 

The Frequently Asked Questions (help) are the same for www.3dfoilart and www.alldressforms.com with the exception of the foil art care instructions below. These must be adhered to in order for you to fully enjoy your foil art prints. They CAN bend if not handled very carefully.

Please print these instructions. Press the CTRL (control key) and the letter "P".

Foil Art Care - Proper Matting, Framing and Preservation Instructions

Find a clean, flat surface. Preferably thoroughly wash and dry your hands before attempting to take out the foil art print. It's your responsibility to keep your foil prints unharmed.

Foil art bends easily. Very carefully remove your foil art print from the shipping box, envelope or tube. If you happen to bend it while removing it, that usually won't be a problem since the edges will be covered by your frame. The prints and posters will flatten out in a frame under acrylic or glass.

Do not expose your foil art print to heat or direct sunlight. Please do not leave it in the car. It will melt. (As bizarre as this seems, this was reported to us by someone who left it in the car trunk).

To preserve your foil art print, framing under glass is highly recommended. For foil posters, we suggest that you bring your unpacked poster directly to a professional framer.

You may also frame it under acrylic as our customer did:

"Here is a picture of our daughters with our new Two Hemisphere World Map framed under acrylic."

Notice that there are no reflections or glare from the lighting of the map framed under acrylic. You may want to try both types of coverings - glass and acrylic - to see what works best for you in the area in which you will be placing your treasured foil prints and posters. Yes, they are a treasure to be enjoyed for many years, if properly taken care of.

When matting your print, it is advised that you use a water-based PVA or dextrin adhesive mixed with a minimum of water and applied cold.

Hot or solvent-based adhesives must NOT be used under any circumstances. As long as an application does not involve heat, you can frame your foil prints any way you like, including under non-glare acrylic glass.

All foil art is inspected by two people before it is shipped. There are no returns, exchanges or refunds for foil art due to the nature of the care that must be taken when removing it from the shipping receptacle (tube, box, envelope) and framing it.

Please print these instructions and give them to the framer and watch him or her read them in front of you. Highlight the instructions (unless you want to print the entire page); press the CTRL (control button) and the letter "P". Click in the "selection" radio button and print.

If the framer destroys your foil art, he or she will have to replace it for you or you will have to buy another one. (This incident has happened only once and the framer offered to, and did, pay for it.) It's much better to bring the instructions with you and make sure you and the picture framer understand them. If not, please email me. Thank you.
