<p>[QUOTE=&quot;techbiker, post: 4472404, member: 60629&quot;]Looks like a wonderful pastel! I bought an Andrew Gunderson and had it shipped in the frame. Unfortunately, mine wasn&#039;t originally framed with offset spacers so the pastel rubbed against the glass. The glass didn&#039;t break though. I took it to Hobby Lobby and had it reframed in the original frame with museum glass. While there, I blew off the smudges. See attached- turned out great.</p><p><br /></p><p>Some tips:</p><p><br /></p><p>-If you ship yours in frame, I recommend taping the glass to the frame so it doesn&#039;t shift.</p><p>-Recommend reframing on acid-free mat board since your backer is probably acidic.</p><p>-If you remove it from the frame and see any smudging, you can try lightly blowing off smudges but do not touch the pastel. You may try a Q-tip lightly to carefully remove any stubborn smudges.</p><p>-Recommend museum glass in general as it almost eliminates any reflection and helps block UV.</p><p>-Recommend offset spacers when framing</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.antiquers.com/attachments/20220515_215504small-jpg.387361/?temp_hash=25ce858f66fcdf8e5ab1676df8cfee94" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
