I am doing a large format painting 7' x 8' would I approach this the same way you have here? I have noticed another example using laminall with a iron for heat to apply the linen, what do you know about this application. I am building a frame to hold my Masonite board.
There are so many ways to achieve the end result. Yours is broadly similar to what I've done recently. I experiment with different methods on small boards to find what works best for me. That may not be best for others of course 😊
Sorry, just saw this. You can do larger pieces on 1/2" gatorboard, but 1/2" doesn't fit into the frames as well (it sticks out the back. I've done 48x60 on 3/8" gatorboard. Not trouble with bowing, but I do frame them all.
Thank you so much for explaining this so simply...still I've a query... If on a mdf board which is mounted with canvas ( 6×2 ft), I want to paste/fix some wooden circles/ semicircles to complete a art piece. How can I paste it. With which medium. Could you please help me in this... would be happy to see you reply.
Priyanka - in the past when i have wanted to attach something to the canvas (and i'm assuming the shapes are flat) i have used Molding Paste - it doesn't crack and seems to hold really well. Good luck with your project
Greetings Richard, (my grandsun's name is Richard), where do you get the glue? If I were to do a paint pour should I do so before I glue it or after? Thank You.

I’ve never used egg tempera but it’s ok to mount linen to plywood - I would give the plywood a coat of gesso first to seal it and to reduce the acidity in it - good luck👍
Thanks Leslie - the glue is called Miracle Muck, it’s a bit difficult to find- I’m thinking of doing an updated video with alternative glues and some added tricks of the trade
I've seen others weight the canvas down until dry. Is that not necessary? Where would one find the canvas glue and what type of board did you use? I have some completed works on canvas that I need to glue to a board for framing and I've watched your vid tree times and really like your technique.
I use a product called "Miracle Muck." It is acid free and reversible. raphaelsap.com/miracle-muck/ The board I use is called "Gatorboard," and is available in 3/8" and 1/2." It is lightweight yet sturdy. A foam filled board, but NOT Foam Core. Foam Core will warp! I used to add weights, but it is not necessary. It dries quickly without warping. Not sure if that's because I'm in Arizona, where it is hot and dry, but I don't have a problem. It's hard to get the weights evenly distributed and not leave indentations. Hope that's helpful! Let me know if you have any more questions.
Richard I have a client with one of my paintings in another country, I followed your process but she is saying there are a couple of bumps appearing, what can I tell her to do the flatten them ?
Hi Bobby - that’s a tough situation- being in another country makes it hard - it may be that a change in climate and humidity has caused this - i have had this problem once or twice over the years and have fixed it by laying a cloth over the painting and VERY GENTLY using an iron on the lowest setting - I would be okay doing this myself on my own painting but it’s your call to suggest this to your customer to do themselves- I hope you can fix it
Great point👍 really important - if you happen to mount on a board larger than you need you could trim it into alignment but far better to get it right in the first place 👍
I used this method to paste a painted canvas over fiber board. But the glue has seeped out of the canvas and added a cloudy layer over my paint. Please help. I understand this video was for blank canvas but please help me
Firstly, nice easy to follow video. Can I ask what method you use to cut the board with after mounting? Knife or Saw? - Thx again!
Great video! What type of glue is that?
Very useful tips.thank you

How thick is your wooden board ?
Fantastic

Hi Philip- sounds as though you’re doing it right - experimenting on smaller pieces is the way to go 👍
Thanks for the video sir, very good but will the board ever bend or bow? thanks Robert

How long does it last? I am selling embellished Giclees and I need this to last a long time.

Thanks.
What is the actual glue you are using?
Thank you for this video, What is the best per GSM maximum should be linen to attach plywood in egg tempera? I am waiting for answering, thank you.
I’ve never used egg tempera but it’s ok to mount linen to plywood - I would give the plywood a coat of gesso first to seal it and to reduce the acidity in it - good luck👍
it would be a helpful and useful video if you would mention what glue you used. I think everything is common sense

Thanks for the response. I ordered the Miracle Muck.
Very good, let me know how it goes.

@@richardhall3589 this is what I have suggested to them, thank you Sharon x
Maybe the title should say 'mounting prints'.🤷🏼♀️
the grain of the canvas must be square with the board
Great point👍 really important - if you happen to mount on a board larger than you need you could trim it into alignment but far better to get it right in the first place 👍
sounded like a tv in the other room. I couldn't hear him good.
Really? Just listened again and didn't have any problem. Sorry it didn't work for you.
