Useage
The box carries
3 wet canvas/boards. The grooves which hold the board are about
4mm wide. There are some manufactured boards which fit these grooves,
but some are too thick. Alternatively buy 3mm thick MDF or hard
board - either cut them yourself to your box size or get the merchant
to cut them for you. Prime the boards and then a layer of gesso
or similar.
A useful tip
for those who expect to have more than three wet canvas/boards to
carry. Cut a small slivver of cork and place one at each corner
of the wet painting, then place another wet canvas facing it or
some other protective layer. Either hold these together with an
elastic band or string etc. Put these in a cardboard box, filing
folder or similar.
The larger box
weighs under 2lbs and the smaller about 1.25lbs. The overall size
of the larger box is 11"x10"x3"deep and the smaller
9"x8"x3"deep. The wood is sealed but left for the
owner to varnish or use as is.
