It makes me nervous using a glue that isnt tried and tested with paintings, the last thing I need is for the worst to happen. I had primed some panels I previously used to tape my paintings with masking tape to. I sanded the panels making sure it was clear of tape and glue etc. After the panels dried, the glue from the masking tape went thru three layers of gamblin ground I had applied thickly with a spatula! Here I thought I had sanded away the glue from the masking tape. So the moral of my story is, glue is harsh. Perhaps my best bet is to stretch my paintings, I'm thinking perhaps stretch them over acid free foamboard and push pins into the sides and frame them. I painted these paintings unstretched and stretching them over stretcher bars would damage and crack or move the paint???
