Ricard,

This is one of the most confusing areas of painting, among a myriad of confusing issues.

Lead is supposed to be the most durable and flexible, but you have let it cure for 6 months or more.

The Artist Magazine, this month, has a good article on sizing and priming canvasses.

Read the standard in the field, Ralph Mayer's book , " Methods and Materials for Artists".
