The frames that we glaze are super high quality, in other words they are very strong and last. We tape the glass off so that we can have it properly taped when we work on it. When working on the glaze it is important to tape the proper areas. The end result is best when we remove the tape and get the result of a perfect line without any issues, for instance a perfect frame.
