In Reply to: MOLD ON CANVAS posted by ron on March 27, 19100 at 08:52:04:
: How do u get rid of mold growing on the backside of the painting (the unprimed side of canvas) or on the painting itself?
Mold on a canvas means that the painting was stored at 60% or more humidity for a long period of time. First you must dry it out thoroughly, then carefully brush off the mold. Compressed air would be a help in getting rid of any loose spores. The dry and clean picture must be then fumigated by placing it in a plastic bag with paradichlorobenzene (moth flakes ) or thymol.
After a few days of that treatment, allow the paint to air out in a dry space and don't allow it to get damp again.
