Do any of you experience warping of the masonite? How thick is it? I find that even 1/2 inch birch G2S plywood will bend (not smaller ones, though) because of the uneven tension created by the glues and canvas, especially if the latter is un-primed. The addition of gesso to the canvas seems to magnify the problem. Sometimes it's more and sometimes it's less, but it's there, just the same.
As an aside, if you're interested in archival issues, you may consider using BEVA glue. It is the standard museum-grade stuff and seems to be the only one that is proven to be reversable. Most other neutral pH PVA adhesives become very difficult, if not impossible, to remove.
