: Some books say that white shellac (or some other sealer) needs to be put on cavas before it is gessoed.
: And others just apply gesso to the cavas. Does canvas need to be sealed before or after it is gessoed?
: What kind of glue should one use to glue canvas to a board?

Definitely do not seal canvas with anything prior to applying gesso. The best adhesive for attaching canvas to board -- I have found after trying many things -- is acrylic gesso.
