(“Connection with a fabric that somehow seems glued on. Something glued on something, perhaps paper.” This is excellent data, and very close indeed to the object. The object is trimmed from the linen canvas I bought at the Art Shop, and this piece of canvas was glued on to large sheets of Masonite so as to have a firm support—the experiment I had in mind which was referred to later.

Connection with a fabric that somehow seems glued on. Something glued on something, perhaps paper.

(Jane thinks the paper reference here could refer to the object being sandwiched between the two pieces of cardboard, or Bristol, inside the double envelope; for when she opened the envelopes she at first thought the canvas was glued to one of the pieces of Bristol—probably because she had seen me working out the gluing problem in the studio in recent weeks. My experiment proved to be quite a task, but was successfully accomplished, with the use of polymer waterproof glue.

(The tack holes running along one edge of the object resulted from the canvas first being tacked to a sheet of board, then wet so that pre-shrinking would take place before the gluing process.

(I glued a square of the burlap to a wood panel with a very white acrylic gesso that is used to prime artists’ canvas, then used a razor blade to trim off the excess around the edges after drying. [...]

[...] Jane saw me doing this, and knew I was experimenting gluing the burlap to panels to make painting surfaces. [...]

[...] They “felt like they were glued shut,” she said. [...]

(To bolster the permanency of the panel I backed it with a wooden frame that I glued to the panel, to prevent warping, etc. [...]

[...] Actually, I’d been cutting masonite and gluing canvas on panels all day. [...]
