Preparation of frame to incorporate painting into a sealed humidity-controlled environment.
Inside edge of frame given a vapour barrier of Marvelseal.
Final touch: a powder-coated aluminum backing board has been installed on verso of frame and a non-reflective glass at the front of the frame to complete the sealed environment for the panel painting. Thin sheets of conditioned ArtSorb have been incorporated into the sealed frame unit to ensure a stable environment.
