Working with Spray Foam to Frame / Mount artwork

[@holdemNE1]

Never in a million years would I have thought to do something like this. Very clever!!!!!

[@djunabug]

Super helpful!! I'm up against a similar challenge -- hoping to fabricate a gap-filling element to clamp-hold two irregularly shaped components. This demo delivered proof of concept re: what I thought might be a hare-brained idea. And confirms that plastic sheeting is a safe "release". Other research suggests that rigid expanding foam (once cured) is incredibly strong and durable, too. Interesting!!

[@JohnHeisz]

Interesting technique!

[@Gelovan682]

seems like the edge should be black, not white. thanks for introducing me to a new use for the foam though. interesting stuff

[@AndreaArzensek]

The result is amazing! You can oxidize screws and nails with muriatic acid, it works great and it’s quick too. I learned that from American restorers. Cheers

[@TheEveryMaker]

That's a really cool way to to fill in and keep that distressed look of the metal. I really like the finish on the screws, helps them blend in very nicely, great trick!

[@RobinLewisMakes]

That worked incredibly well! Didn't think you could build up on foam with filler, surprised the foam was stable enough. That's a good trick to have

[@sapphodesigns2377]

Love the use of sprayfoam and then how you sealed the bubbles 👍

[@icelandic1717]

I was pretty skeptical at first, but you definitely won me over with how well that ended up looking. Bravo! :)

[@MrChan9000]

Really well done! That edge came out much better than I expected.

[@BruceAUlrich]

Brilliant solution! I've never seen this type of foam painted before.

[@JonPetersArtHome]

Thanks Bruce!

[@SattvaWoodworks]

Very nice. One of the things I’ve always enjoyed about working with my hands is problem-solving. Each task is unique and can be frustrating but in the end when you solve the problem you’ve learned something new and carry that forward. 👍

[@akquicksilver]

Looks great! That was a clever way to deal with gap.

[@HeavyboxesDIYMaster]

Ahhhhh...it was the joint compound that did the trick! Excellent job sir!

[@budbirkenseer5277]

Terrific, as always. Liked the foam idea, thanks for sharing.

[@treadwaytm]

That turned out real nice! Great job, Jon.

[@JasonBarre]

Brilliant idea executed magnificently!

[@HaggisFist]

Great solution. Looks very nice.

[@spwoodart]

Neat, I really like the drywall mud addition. Thanks.

[@sjbl1962]

I will have to store that idea for later use. Looks great Jon.

[@uknowulikethat4042]

now that was a cool idea, nice job

[@rudiruesay]

A very nice solution and really interesting!

[@kreparAZ]

Turned out great Jon!

[@tompritch56]

Nice touch.. Looks great.

[@ginaalwaysavip1177]

That's awesome John!

[@wendydarjean1939]

Jon... thought the idea of using foam was awesome to fill the gaps and to support the variations in the sign. Could you have used Wood Bending techniques to have finished the frame?

[@jayj4063]

Do you think you could see led strip lights underneath spray foam ?

[@busterdickerson1575]

Was there a reason you didn’t bend the sign back down and remove the warping?

[@luisgerena6649]

Buster Dickerson I think the point is to showcase the imperfections of the piece as well as the artwork. At least for me, the 3D look of the piece keeps it from looking like something you can buy at Hobby Lobby.

[@GeneralSnus83]

The paint, could chip if you do that.

[@FredMcIntyre]

Nicely done Jon! 👍👊

[@robertweigandt9449]

Awesome Jon.

[@j.m.castilla7150]

OK, gracias por sus videos, thanks for your videos

[@electricroundup8300]

Again & Again........KISS principle...........NICE!........thanks Jon.................jimmy

[@dennisdownes9319]

Awesome!!!!........Foam and joint compound.......despite the title, I didn't see that coming! "Spray foam........not just for insulation anymore!"

[@dantaylor7416]

Amazing, as always. Love this channel!

[@JonPetersArtHome]

Thanks Dan!

[@terjegrov1142]

Well done work, lokk real nice!

[@robb1267]

Well done, Walter! :)

[@Bill-YellowDogWelding]

Very cool!!

[@TheBeerbelly007]

Nice work Jon, looks great---

[@gmor46]

Awesome job....

[@PWlangford1]

Looks great.

[@HootieHoo]

What kind of Joint Compound is used here?

[@WillThat]

Amazing.

[@stevecollins9450]

Excellent fix there, Jon. Did that sign have sentimental value to the client?

[@giovannipetitti1588]

Great Jon

[@amandabruney3835]

Very cool.

[@haighyvshaighy]

Wouldnt the plaster crack ?

[@stgray35]

I like the retro sign, is it original?

[@JonPetersArtHome]

Yes it is

[@stgray35]

nice, i had a couple of fuel cans, but unfortunately they got damaged :( modern signs don't have the same eye catching appearance.

[@Brews_Bikes]

Great project! I guess salt and vinegar is good for more than potato chips...

[@DanieleTotolo]

Maybe someone doesn't know: "Esso" is the european name of ExxonMobil or, at least, is it's name in Spain ad here, in Italy. The company logo is exacly as in this artwork.

[@sglassmeyer7]

Jon, what type of drone do you have??

[@JonPetersArtHome]

Phantom 4

[@RavsAjay]

Why did you add foam only one side

[@DanieleTotolo]

Because it was bent just on one side

[@anthonytausig6820]

Do you have any recommendations for a good stud finder?

[@Argyll9846]

You should buy yourself a strong magnet as it locks onto the nails used to fix drywall and boarding. They cost less than 'stud finders' and are a whole lot cheaper. I've just done a whole house and one of the guys threw his stud finder away when he saw how a magnet did the trick. Nails are usually always hammered into the centre of studs and in 40 years of building, I've never seen them fixed anyplace else.

[@anthonytausig6820]

Gotcha. I have one of those and our space was built back in the 20s or earlier. I have tried drilling into the stud and for whatever reason, I hit something that prevents me from going further. I thought maybe it was a fire box or something metal, as my drill just kept spinning.

[@anthonytausig6820]

Wow.

[@ShanesHobbyShop]

why did you flatten out the metal?

[@JonPetersArtHome]

I didn’t

[@ShanesHobbyShop]

Im sorry, typo. I meant, Why didnt you flatten out the metal

[@tommyevans8449]

What language is "Distributdor"?

[@VitorManuel]

It's DISTRIBUIDOR, it's spanish, is "Distributor" (fuel station)

[@tommyevans8449]

thank you,,, I misread it, that's why google was no help

[@VitorManuel]

You're welcome...

[@adanmonroy9709]

spanish !

[@tomtruesdale6901]

I cringed when I saw the spray foam thinking you were going to ruin the art but then saw that you wrapped the art piece in plastic to prevent sticking. Great job and it turned out very well.

[@ArtBeHereNow]

wife approved ??

[@FullSendPrecision]

That's what I was going to say. Nice lady you got there to approve that!
