Russian Roulette Forum?
Sharon, I think you are taking a big chance if you're seriously considering using polyester sailcloth as a painting ground. It's one thing to reline a canvas, and a horse of another color to use it as a painting ground. Are you the same Sharon Knettell who was on a mission to find the ultimate lead primed linen not too long ago? (Fredrix Rix BTW)
I don't know what they're smoking on that new forum of yours but the advocacy of materials that have no real historical precedent is pure folly at best and totally irresponsible at worst. The same goes for using refined linseed oil as a replacement for cold pressed. Roll them dice baby!
Regardless of whatever anecdotal "scientific" evidence can be served up justifying the use of the newest art material dejour, remember that science has a long history of reversing itself. Today's savior often winds up being tomorrows goat. The ultimate test is the test of time, not simulated circumstances and conditions.
I'm not telling you which "friends" to hang out with, but the ones that hang out behind the firehouse trying to convince you that smoking is cool and not addictive, could turn out to be a very bad influence.
