Chinese plastic canvases

Post by Ultima Thule »

I have a set of these to do and was advised via an American group to use Mount Cor. Is this available in the UK or is there an alternative that would do the job. It is a low temp adhesive board.

Have a look in the wessex catalogue, they have the Larson Juhl range of fastmount boards. The Permanent Mounting Board is designed for textiles.

Thanks. I have some KoolTak that I might try and of that doesn't work then I'll get something from Wessex. It being December time is of the essence of course.... :roll: Spray adhesive plus a cold spell in the vacuum press was another suggestion but I use sprays as a very much last option.

MountCor Canvas (& Paper) is available through Lion. Should work a treat. Big thumbs up for Kool Tack also. A great product. Not tested either with the plasticy type of canvases though.
