If you are familiar with the plastictype of printed canvas, is PVA the correct adhesive to bond it to a backing board? Will it hold? Are we ok with the sand...

Re: PAPYRUS MIOUNTING

If that’s the look you want - ie seeing the wall through the frame, then you could simply use a few dabs of adhesive on the back of the thing, or, if you wanted to give it a fighting chance, you could float mount it to a board slightly smaller, fix that board to the back piece of glass with whateve...

PAPYRUS MIOUNTING

I HAVE READ THE PAST TOPIS ON FRAMING PAPYRUS, BUt the one thing I fail to understand is - If the art is sandwiched between 2 sheets of glas, what keeps the art from falling or slipping down beween the 2 glass panes? Is the glass sandwich enough to holit?

Re: bonding a canvas

The canvas has no value and does not need conservational methods.

bonding a canvas

Hi

I have a canvas that would crack if stretched, so would you bond it down to a backing board, if so, what adhesive should I use? Copydex has been recommended, what do you think. I do not think an adhesive backed board would provide enough sticking power.
