Thank you Thomasin for bringing this subject on the forum today.

Actually, I just bought raw linen, a binder that is said to be used for sizing canvases, and gesso.

I have not tried it yet, but reading these posts make me worry a bit. Has anyone tried modern binders that would not cause any problem of slacking? I hope so.

I am painting on a big canvas right now (100*140) that I bought a few months ago. It was already primed, and sounding like a drum at first. And it started to slack when I was working on it. I thought that I did something wrong, I didn't imagine that it could have been a problem linked to an acrylic sizing...

Anyway, I read somewhere a few days ago (have to remember where it was), that the product named RSG they were selling was not true RSG but acted as it was. Has anyone heard of it ?

Karine
