Grumbler in Training
As is typical with tourist-purchased foreign art, a customer just brought in a rolled, heavy canvas painting (from Morocco) where the painting goes to the very edge of the canvas. Nothing for me to stretch with without losing a good deal of the edge of her art. She wants a float frame, so here's my question: I've seen in painting conservation YT videos where they un-attach canvases from their stretchers and connect more canvas strips using some conservator-grade superglue for a new stretching. (Hope I'm making sense.) Is that a common framing technique I should know and use in the right circumstance -like this one? It would have to be a pretty robust glue-up to not give after years of being stretched. Can anyone point me in the right direction for technique, materials, etc.?
