For Canvas Re-lining

This is a unique compound of a microcrystalline wax and a synthetic polyterpene resin. It melts at 68°C and softens at about 60°C. Apply with brush roller or spatula, as evenly as possible. A hot air gun may help. A hot table is best.

Sealing occurs at 68°C and is best under a vacuum. Smaller items can be sealed using a heated pressing iron. Reversal with a hot air gun is quick and easy.

This museum quality material is very elastic, offers excellent adhesion and is resistant to ageing. 750g
