i purchased this product to incorporate pictures of my husband's cousin in a quilt for his granddaughter. the edges were just sewn to the corresponding fabric. placement of each photo was another thing. it took quite a while to agree on where eash photo should be placed. this product was a God send. it helped me finish the quilt in record time.

The edges are not sharp, but definitely not like a finished edge. Hope this helps?

You can finish the top with Arm R Seal SATIN finish. Use at least 5 coats for a good protective surface. Sand between coats with 400 grit and finish sand after last coat dries with 600 grit. Works great!

The Cut is pretty clean on the surface, though due to using a 'snapping' method to create the break it will leave a squared off edge. You may want to use a tile rubbing stone to clean up the edge a bit, but the surface of the tile, (I just tested it out,) looks clean.

use a nice piece of 1 X 4 or smaller and stain or paint it and attach it to the bar letting it stick out enough to cover the unfinished edges. This is what I did and looks nice.

I usually mask the edges with masking tape to get a really crisp clean edge and then mount the painting behind a mat with the edge showing. Another way. if you are painting with oils, is to protect the back with greased paper and masking tape before you begin painting. The finished painting can then be glued to a cradled panel - not wrapped around, or it can be wrapped around a panel and glued at the back. the panel can then be framed conventionally. Personally, I like to cut the sheet into 4, mask all around to give a white border and then frame the individual pieces in equal sized frames with a wide mat and hang all 4 together - 2 side by side with the other 2 underneath and about 1 cm gap between the frames. I find this way of working is most successful when the frames are quite a bit larger than the little paintings inside.

My husband cut it with a SHARP utility knife. No problems with edges coming undone or fraying. Cut fairly easy for us.

Hi Johnathan,I think the best way to do what you want to do is to use a flush cutting bit adjusted to be about the thickness of a sheet of paper away from the plywood for the final pass. Adding a larger base made from masonite or plexiglass could help prevent "dig in" of the bit as you approach the edge. After the last pass with the router, carefully sand the edging flush with the plywood.

All the edges are finished. Sawing off an end would make it different than all other sides.

The best option is to use a trim piece called the Sandstone Window Door Trim in the Buff color. This trim is great for terminating panels that do not wrap corners or butt up against a wall, leaving a finished looked.

I went to lowes and got the precut small packs of wood wedges for door frame shimming. Tapped a few under each side. Trimmed them with a knife. Was rock solid when I was done. Hope this helps!

useBlockTile R0US5112 Interlocking Ramp Edges Without Loop, and BlockTile R1US5112 Interlocking Ramp Edges with Loop. And all the edges will be clean and nice. There is no need to trim anything.

Whether you get a mirror edge depends on you. More specifically, you have to work your way through the various grits, whether using Edge Pro stones, sand paper, diamond paste and so on.Until recent, the finest stone in my collection was a 600. After using it, I switched to my sandpaper (1000, 1500) and water or oil. For the final, I used McGuires Mag Polish. Just a little rubbing brought a quick polish to the blade.As others suggested, you could take the polishing even farther, before the final, but that seems best suited for blades that are for show, rather than use.

If you get a good break then take Armour Etch product and brush it carefully onto the two edges and leave on long enough to etch the edges. Rinse off and dry. Then use your glue such as Krazy glue or some other that dries clear. You'll get a stronger join if you etch the shiny edges first.

Yes, you can it just will have exposed edges at the top, you would have to finish it off with some kind of treatment. Hope this helps, if you have any more questions let me know I will try to help.

Use sandpaper and a wire brush to remove as much rust as practical. To achieve a smooth final finish, apply the Rust-Oleum with a soft cloth to avoid bumps or streaks. Allow to dry completely. Next, apply several coats of fast drying rust resistant primer. Sand lightly after each coat dries. Repeat until finish is smooth and apply final coat. Be sure the metal is free of dirt or oil before you apply the Rust-Oleum solution. You could apply the finish coat without using primer but several coats of primer will make for a finer finish and the final coat of paint will last longer.

The easiest way to terminate the panels without wrapping around a corner, is by using a Sandstone Window and Door Trim as the end is finished and gives a nice rock face trim.
