MIST-LINING: Materials Sampler

The Mist-Lining system, developed in the 1990s at SRAL by Jos van Och, has evolved into a system that today resolves structural issues presented by canvas paintings, but at the same time maintaining their integrity and authentic appearance. By determining the individual needs of each painting, a holistic approach to treating the structural needs of a painting can be integrated into a pre and post conservation campaign. This Mist-Lining Materials Sampler provides an overview of materials used at SRAL for Mist-Lining intended for the experienced practitioner. SRAL regularly holds workshops to teach and disseminate the technique. We have also produced a video highlighting the Mist-Lining practice available on our YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jU-QwEfYt44. Please also consult the Mist-Lining Handbook for information on the Mist-Lining system we use at SRAL to carry out successful Mist-Linings.
