Full and strip lining are two techniques used to reinforce and stabilize fragile or damaged canvases. Full lining involves adhering a new canvas to the entire back of the original canvas, providing comprehensive support and structural integrity. This process is typically employed when the original canvas is severely weakened or deteriorated. On the other hand, strip lining involves attaching narrow strips of canvas to specific areas of the original canvas, usually along the edges or in areas of localized damage. Strip lining reinforces these vulnerable areas while preserving as much of the original canvas as possible. Both techniques require careful consideration of materials and adhesives to ensure compatibility with the original artwork. The goal of full and strip lining is to strengthen the canvas, prevent further deterioration, and ultimately preserve the integrity and longevity of the artwork.
