Self Framing Plaque
« on: December 17, 2012, 11:37:58 pm »
Hey guys, quick question. I just completed my first self framing plaque.My question is if I apply mineral oil to the main body will it swell up and not fit into the frame?I would hate for that to happen.I am going to stain the frame.After I apply the mineral oil and let it dry,that is when I glue the main body to the frame, correct?I used oak for the project.Thanks for the help.....Dave

Never tried that way before...But I sea no problem with it, it's oil not water after all.

If you are gluing the pieces together I would oil after as the glue may not stick
