The linen is adhered using BEVA Film, a heat-activated adhesive commonly used in art conservation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBEVA Film is used because it provides a strong bond while remaining responsive to heat and certain solvents. This can give a professional conservator options for working with the adhesive in the future if treatment or removal of the linen from the rigid support becomes necessary.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eImportant Information About Heat and BEVA Film\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBEVA 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. Sufficient heat can soften or reactivate the adhesive, which may cause areas of the linen to loosen or separate from the panel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAvoid leaving finished or unfinished panels in hot vehicles or other environments where they may be exposed to excessive heat. The ability of BEVA Film to respond to heat is intentional and is also one of the characteristics that can allow a professional conservator to work with the adhesive during future treatment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout the Linen Surface\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Belgian linen has a very fine weave and smooth painting surface with little visible texture. Because the linen is mounted 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\u003cp\u003eBecause linen is a natural material, subtle variations in weave and color may occur from panel to panel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout Lead-Primed Linen\u003c\/h3\u003e\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\u003cp\u003eFor hanging or display, this flat panel should be framed or mounted to a cradle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCalifornia Proposition 65 Warning\u003c\/h3\u003e\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\u003cp\u003eAvoid inhaling wood dust or use a dust mask or other safeguards for personal protection.
