Marvin, do you know why, specifically? I've been trying to find this out.
One of my little hobbies is taking old paintings off walls on the sly and seeing what's going on in the back of them. I have seen mildew, rust, paint eating through, punctures, fraying, you name it... all on linen. I have seen linen rotting on expensive 5 year old paintings. I'm not convinced it's due to "lack of care".
I power-sanded one of my ABS panels to reuse it as a ground and it took me a full fifteen minutes to remove both the physical paint and the dye that seeps into the surface. Whomever tries to eliminate my work from the planet in the future has this to look forward to.
Marvin and Sharon, I am just going to have to make one of these panels for each of you and you can give it a whirl.
Just try to out-gas me,
Linda
