Anotations

Scope note:

A surface designed for relining of oil paintings patented by art restorer George T. Oliver in 1937. Instead of ironing a new canvas onto the old one, the most practiced method to date, this technique bonds the two canvases, which have been coated with a molten adhesive, on a hot metal plate. A pump evacuates oxygen between the canvases and adhesion occurs upon cooling.
