Thanks for adding this video, Jon. Can I ask why you didn't cut the canvas off like the paper? Does it have to do with looking more finished? I had no idea you could iron wood glue. Nice to know!

[judymurphy]

Wonderful videos and instruction, Thank You

[jofloresz]

you can mount thin wood using a glue gun and aluminum soda can pop tops they are magnesium and just bend them and hot glue them on the back and you have a hook to hang your pics

Thank you, very clear and useful I hope to try this.

[Serenitees]

Nice lesson! Can I ask what temperature setting you used on your iron when setting the glue? Thanks!

Hey...good info....do you put the encaustic medium right onto the canvas or do you put encaustic gesso..

[CarolAnn]

I would glue with an acrylic gel medium rather than wood glue. I use Golden absorbent ground to "gesso" as well. Great videos though. I have learned something in your use of paint filters to strain out the rubbish that is in damar. Thanks

[TheLilac]

what paper exactly do you use? Will watercolor work? Can I use canvas on the board that already sold in stores?
Do you have a tutorial of actual painting in encaustic. I use to do encaustic with iron and now would like to so with wax sheets. I can't find any instructional video on YT :-(
Thanks so much for your videos.

Jon, Could you paint the panel with gesso or white instead of gluing canvas or paper?
