Arts Canvas Belgian Linen is prepared with Williamsburg Lead Oil Ground, providing the smooth surface, controlled tooth, and handling characteristics traditionally associated with lead-primed linen.

The linen is adhered using BEVA Film, a heat-activated adhesive developed for conservation applications and widely used by painting conservators.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBEVA is used intentionally because its heat- and solvent-reactive properties can allow a conservator to work with the adhesive in the future if treatment or removal of the linen from the rigid support becomes necessary.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eImportant Information About Heat and BEVA Film\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBecause BEVA Film is a heat-activated adhesive, finished panels and artwork should not be stored or left in environments where they may be exposed to excessive heat. High temperatures can soften or reactivate the adhesive and may cause areas of the linen to loosen or separate from the panel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAvoid storing finished or unfinished panels in hot vehicles, direct prolonged heat, or other environments where the panel may become excessively hot. This heat-reactive property is inherent to the conservation adhesive and is also one of the characteristics that can make future conservation treatment possible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout the Linen Surface\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis Belgian linen has a very fine weave and smooth painting surface with little visible texture. Because the linen is mounted directly to a rigid panel, small natural variations or imperfections in the weave on the reverse of the linen may become visible on the painting surface after pressing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLinen is a natural material, so subtle variations in weave and color may occur from panel to panel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout Lead Primed Linen\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLead primed linen can naturally darken or yellow when stored away from light. If your panel appears darker or more yellow than expected, place it in an area with natural light. Exposure to light will help reverse the darkening and return the surface to a lighter appearance. This natural color change does not indicate a problem with the painting surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor hanging or display, this flat panel should be framed or mounted to a cradle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCalifornia Proposition 65 Warning\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWARNING:\u003c\/strong\u003e Drilling, sawing, sanding, or machining wood products can expose you to wood dust, a substance known to the State of California to cause cancer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAvoid inhaling wood dust or use a dust mask or other safeguards for personal protection.
