Nice demonstration. Much better than other videos! All angles covered. Question do you not seal the panel first? I’m making some now but used gac 100 and using fairly heavy birch plywood.
I’d like to do this. Has you method been time tested? I’m just worried that the canvas would eventually bubble up after a few years. Especially if it was displayed under hot lights or in humid conditions. Any problems like that? How long have you been using that adhesive ? Thanks for posting
I’ve been using this adhesive for many years and am very confident about it. My painted panels are in places all over the U.S. and Canada and I’ve never had any complaints about bubbles. If sufficient adhesive is applied to both surfaces there shouldn’t be a problem. In any case, this adhesive is archival and reversible…so any future problem that might arise can be addressed if care is taken.
Great video! One question, how would you wrap the board if you were using a floater where the edges are visible? Wrap painting around the back and staple after gluing? Thanks!
I don’t wrap anything, it’s a panel and when it’s framed the edges shouldn’t show. Even with a floater frame, the panel should be set back enough in the recess so that no one is able to see the edge.
This oil painting is completely dry and this glue is easily sponged off with water at any time without harming the artwork. Naturally if the painting were gouache or watercolor this would be a problem.
Thank you very much! On all of RUclips this is the best description of this process! 👍🏻
Great, I’m glad if it helped!
Thanks for taking the time to let us know your secrets. It is so much appreciated.
My pleasure!
Thanks, James! Very well demonstrated.
I use an identical pin method to mount my paper or canvas to ACM panels. Works great!
Excellent!
Great tip! Thanks for the demo, great idea. I'll give it a try!!
That was very helpful. Love you painting!
Thank you so much!
Great info! Thank you for your expertise!!
My pleasure!
Thank you so much, James! This was just what I needed.
Cool!
Excellent content.
Thanks

Perfect
greast demo, thanks!

I could be wrong, but I think that considering the adhesive I use, sealing the plywood isn’t really necessary
Very good!
Glad you think so!
Thank you!

Thank you, James-- Is this technique suitable for older, frailer canvasses?
I’m really not qualified to answer - better to ask an art conservator.
@@JamesCrandallPainting Thank you
Great Tips! Thanks for sharing. Any reason why not fold the canvas over the panel instead of cutting it?
I don’t know, I’ve never done that. Seems like it would add an extra complication, with folds, extra thickness. Do you see a reason that I don’t?
Hi James, thanks for the video. Did you dilute lineco with water ?
You are most welcome. No, I don’t dilute it for use, I just use a little water for cleanups.
What is the glue that you are using? Is it archival so that acid from the wood doesn’t damage the painting?
It is identified in both the video and the description
Thank you for the demo! I’m not sure if I missed it, but do you varnish before or after?
You’re welcome Abigail. I would varnish after( making sure I had first cleaned any glue off the surface of the painting).
How do you keep the canvas from shrinking?
The idea is to force it to stay flat until the glue is completely cured. By then, any shrinking should be done and the excess fabric can be removed
Of course, as long is there is moisture present some warping as possible
I'm watching you getting glue underneath on your artwork. What NOT to do...
This oil painting is completely dry and this glue is easily sponged off with water at any time without harming the artwork.
Naturally if the painting were gouache or watercolor this would be a problem.
Thank you!
You are welcome!
