Framers Tape (Step 6)

6. Attach framers tape to rebate.

We placed the framers tape on the sidewalls of the rebate (or rabbet). As the framers tape is 1 1/4 inches  wide the tape could be creased and folded it over to cover the comer back. This provided a clean smooth surface in which to place the mat and pastel. The framers tape isolates the wood.
