Hello Marie, You should send some sort of
image out for everyone to analyze, that would help with suggestions. Is the stretcher
in the way on the backside? If not or even a little you may be able to create a
surface on the back that would keep the bricks from moving backwards with
movement and then on the front add pressure with foamed bracing. Kyle Young President, TYart phone 713.869.4044 fax 713.869.8142 TYart~Museum Quality Art Services From: pacinlist-bounces@pacin.org

Behalf Of Poisson, Marie-Chantale Hi, We are currently trying to make a new crate for a painting
by Georg Herold, which consists of stretched linen on a strainer, onto which he
glued 9 bricks (red bricks used in construction), with a thick rubber cement.
The bricks simply follow gravity, pulling the fabric tight downward, and
they tend to giggle a lot when the piece is moved. They are aligned
vertically at about 3-4 inches apart, some are closer due to the gravity pull.
Does anybody have suggestions on a packing solution that would facilitate
the move to and from the crate and the wall? Ideally we would want the
bricks to be braced somehow so that the piece can travel safely without the
risk of ripping the canvas if the bricks move too much… Thank you for your help!
