Subject: Support for lining
I am going to line an old oil painting on canvas to the new support with BEVA 371. Can anyone suggest which support would be better for that purpose: Trevira C.S (100% polyester) or pure linen canvas? The picture will be placed in the church after treatment (no climate control; temperature range from 0 deg. C during winter to +30 deg. C during summer). I suppose that Trevira is better option, but I have no experience with synthetic canvas. Any experience will be helpful.
