Mould removal on canvas

[lissyh]

I need to remove mould from the back of giclee printed canvases. Can anyone help please with a product name?

Could be very difficult as anything that could make the canvas damp might remove or loosen the surface coating.

If the mould is only superficial then I'd suggest drying it out completely in a container with silica gel for a week or two and then vacuuming it lightly with a soft brush attachment.

If the mould is more than superficial then I'd suggest trying to replace the print.

Thanks for that, since I posted request mould is fast drying out and disappearing. My (spanish) supplier suggested Etinol which I'm not sure if it translates as Ethinol but again with the same possibility is that it could loosen/damage image. So at this point in time I think I will just 'brush' it off. I think it will be the most econimical and easiest solution. thanks again for your input. This site is great. PS i aways knew glass was expensive here (Spain)but after reading a request for glass and the prices quoted I think I'll switch to acrylic! I am paying twice the price even with a discount.
