This came in this morning.
A 6" wide 3-frame stack, cut to fit 24x36.
The customer had no idea it was poly/plastic.
She asked if I could repair it.
"Not possible. The damage is too extensive."
I tried to close the miters by hand, but they would not close neatly because of how badly the poly breaks apart.
The smaller inside frame was broken like a brittle bone in a few places. Chunks falling out every time the thing was moved around.
The artwork is just a simple dry mounted poster of no real value.
Staples were driven through the foamboard that the print was dry-mounted on.
I was able to remove the mounted poster without damaging the surface of the print, but the edges are torn up in places from staples.
While not the end of the world, I don't like that.
This entire frame will now go in the trash. Which is too bad. What a waste.
