How To Mount an Acrylic Paper Painting onto Canvas: Step-by-step, real time, with commentary!

A simple How-To video that demonstrates how I mount an acrylic painting that has been done on paper, onto a canvas. It is a solid, permanent method that I've been using for ten years.

I use Bondcrete as a glue. (Maybe try any white wood glue that dries clear)
I water it down to about 70% glue – 30% water.
I paint it on both contact surfaces, place the paper in place, and then add a final coat over the top of the painting. This helps to seal the edges and toughens the surface.

I suggest you try this on a small painting at first! My original efforts were on huge 120cm wide works, and I was often in a mess! But I've never lost a painting using this method.

And I do use it for my own watercolour paintings, but I'm reluctant to recommend this, as the paint can loosen and smear when you are applying the Bondcrete. But if you can spray the solution on first, or fix the paint with a suitable fixer, that should hold the paint in place. Please experiment and let me know in the comments if you have success.
