V
V-grooved  A decorative detail created by wedge furrow or rut cut in a picture frame face or mat board that creates a V-shaped indent in the surface.
V-Hinge  The result of a method used for affixing an artwork the a mounting board prior to framing. The hinging tissue or tape is folded in half and placed at the top center of the artwork, between the paper and the backing. This method is used when the mat is not covering the edges of the artwork, since it conceals the hinging tissue. V-Hinge
V-nails (Wedges)  The type of nails used in an underpinner machine to attach the mitered edges of picture frame moulding to form a right angle corner. The nails resemble wide staples that are bent into an L or 90 degree angle. This shape allows one end of the nail to be inserted into each frame leg, holding the two legs together.

V-nails (Wedges)
Vacuum presses  A machine used in lamination or veneer processes. After the artwork, encased in the laminating envelope, is placed within the press, all the air is removed, suctioning the envelope to the artwork. Vacuum presses work with various mounting substrates such as foam core and wood. They are available with or with applied heat.
Varnish  A high-shine, semi-transparent or opaque liquid coating applied to most often to wood, which dries hard to provide protection and tinted color. Also referred to as lacquer, enamel or glaze.
Velcro  A brand name hook and loop fastener that impermanently adheres two surfaces together. Velcro consists of two different strips or sheets, the hooks (coarse, wiry loops of a plastic thread-like material) and the loops (a softer, fuzzy surface) which stick together firmly when pressure is applied. The back of the strips may have a pressure-sensitive adhesive that allows it to be affixed to the surface without glue or sewing. Velcro
Veneer Ornament  Veneer is a thin strip of wood that is adhered to a surface to give that surface the appearance of solid wood. In picture framing, veneer may be applied to the top of a wood frame in order to achieve a desired wood grain effect.
Vises  A clamp tool used to hold an object (or multiple objects) in place, either to allow an adhesive to dry, or to keep the object still while other processes are carried out (sawing, carving, etc). A vise has two parallel jaws that are separated by a handle or level which is used to move them together and apart.
