Is it possible to treat a stretchered canvas with polyurethane, epoxy resin or some such, to make it waterproof enough to hang over the bathroom shower?

1 Answer

Answer :

answer:If you put on enough coats to be certain that there weren’t any untreated areas, no matter how small, I don’t see why not. Isn’t this what they do with fiberglass coatings to make sure a boat is waterproof? Maybe call a place that caters to boating people and ask them what they would recommend. Is this an Acrylic painting you’re talking about?
