Original Message "RE: Mural & Canvas - How To?" Posted by LWolff on 08-Oct-14 at 09:19 AM Great article, thank you!! I have been commissioned to do a 10'hx17'w mural on canvas to be installed on a well sheltered exterior wall here in Oregon. I am about to purchase the one piece poly mural product in the size I need from Lake arts mural canvas. I'll paint the mural in my studio and clear coat it with an exterior rated product. The existing wall is stucco over cement that has been painted several times over the years and the location is a large covered entrance to a train depot which will become a restaurant. If I prep the wall with a heavy primer then simply use the clay based wallpaper adhesive, should this be sufficient? I am comfortable with the installation with some helpers but am looking into a pro wall paper hanger. I originally wanted the wall to have a wood underlayment "skin" applied to insure that the glue would have good adherence but am wondering if that is an unnecessary step. It only goes below freezing a very few times over the winter, mostly just a lot of general moisture in the air but again, this location will be nicely sheltered. I would appreciate any helpful comments, thank you!!!! Lorie, owner artist at One Horse Studio, llc.
