Here's a really large piece that I adhered the paper onto the board and I just wanted to explain that this is a large piece of big job and it's really helpful to have a person help you if you're working on such a large scale because what this is is four sheets of 22 by 30 arched soil paper and it's been adhered to cradle panels so you can kind of see the seam. There's one seam between two of the paintings and then over here because it was meant to be a dip tick, here's the other seam and you know you can kind of disguise some of that but I did cut off the deckled edge and tried to get the marks to match up really well. Hi Vincent! This is the largest one I ever tried to adhere to. Here I want to show you my table where I am about to adhere a painting onto a board and here's what I have kind of waiting and ready so that I don't have to look around for things when the time comes. So first of all when you're done adhering your paint into the board you're going to need some weight. So I grab some of my heavier books and this is the number that I have and kind of see the size of them compared to the size of this painting which is 22 by 30 and the painting is dry and it's cold wax and oil and then I have a board that I'm going to be adhering this painting to and it's a cradle panel you can see it's wrapped in plastic. Here's the plastic I'm going to take the plastic off obviously but I just want to show you that if I lay the board on top of the painting you can see that there's excess all the way around the perimeter of the board. In general if you plan ahead and you know you're going to work on paper try to work in sizes that you know it's easy to get a corresponding cradle board for. If you work in odd sizes then you're going to have to get a custom board made and you know that can get pretty expensive. So anyway I just want to show you that there isn't excess beyond the panel. Then I have some you know paper towels handy I've got my master master or any silicone tool or a brush for spreading the adhesive. I've got an exacto blade here and then I have my gloves I have some paper towels and as far as the adhesive I use this is an adhesive I like to use but it's not the only thing that you can use. This is line co and it says EVA neutral pH adhesive and then it says university products and this is originally recommended to me by the people at Gamblin. They said that well if I'm going to attach canvas to board then I should use this so I wrote on here you know pre-prime I have pre-prime canvas and I wrote a note on here so I wouldn't forget what it's for but since that time I found that this works really well to adhere you are painting your painting that's on paper onto the panel. But you can also use golden products they've got you know various gels it doesn't matter whether it's gloss or medium but the main thing is that you just want to choose your adhesive and then make sure that you've got enough of it so that it's really going to secure your painting. Alright so here is my panel and I'm going to just take the plastic off. There's no need to tape off the sides or do any of that because even if I get a little bit of glue on the sides I can sand it off you know I just don't think it's really necessary to go the extra step of putting tape on the sides. So I'm going to just dump some out and you don't have to go overboard and I'm just going to do this and spread it around with this Messer Meister be kind of generous with the amount that I put on here at first so again go to the corners go to the edges and I'm almost done here. This Messer Meister tool works really well because it has a pretty wide covering edge here and again get the edges the corners and you don't have to do this in a big rush you've got time. Make sure you've got a braille handy so I'm going to move this and put my glass seam down first my protective layer and I put the painting face down this out of the way. Here's the glued part I'm going to put it like this and I'm going to watch the edges. Okay so once you've positioned it and the reason I put it on the backside like this with the painting side down is because I can see if the board is kind of centered on the painting. Okay so now the painting is face side up take the glass seam you can also use wax paper or freezer paper. Now this is kind of an important step. Take a braille surf in the middle and you know using some pressure not too much but you want to work from the center out and you're just making sure that every part of your painting on paper is touching that adhesive. Do this a couple times. Okay so I think that's pretty good. I'm going to turn this upside down again again with that protective glass seam underneath and then I put all my weights on the backside this. Okay all right so then we just wait and then tomorrow I'll come in let this sit overnight and I'll show you how I trim the edges and hopefully all went well. Hey everyone so I'm back in the morning now and going to check on how well the painting that I showed you yesterday has adhered to the cradled panel. I also have a very sharp blade here it's brand new. I'm going to take all the weight off right now. Okay so I'm going to lift this up. Yep looks good. Okay so now here's my brand new blade so I'm hoping you can see this okay but I'm just going to start with this edge that's right near the camera so you can kind of see here. So here again is the cradled panel and then here is the painting that that's adhered and below it is the sheet of glassing and then here's my cutting mat. So I'm going to take this very sharp razor blade it's never been used. I just start to trim be really slow and careful. Try not to catch the cradle itself. It's not that hard to go through arched his oil paper. So when I lift this up here you can kind of see this first edge turn around here. Okay so there's the first edge. Okay and then the last short end. So yeah I've got a couple scraps that you can see there is there's paint on some of these edges that I cut off but it's better to have that than to have your paper smaller than the boards. You're going to lose a little bit of your painting. So just to get sort of an idea here of the edges you can kind of see how nice and clean that is. Okay all the way around and as far as adhesion goes you want to just feel on the edge and make sure that everything is good and secured on their corners and this seems really good. It's awesome because now it feels like you know like I did it right on the board in the first place. It's really nice.
