Linen backing resources - Australia

thehammers80

Hi all, this is such a great place for info on posters etc. I have collected a number of posters over the years, nothing amazing - just personal faves and interests. I now have the time to look at starting to try linen backing some of them to preserve/restore them. 

I'm going to build the frames etc. and have looked into tables and other items, but I have great difficulty sourcing the raw materials (canvas, masa, mylar etc.). Everything here seems to be US centric and retailers like Talas don't offer the most realistic shipping prices to dear old Australia.

I was wondering if there were any Aussie based collectors with any suppliers they use?

Appreciate any help.

Hi There,  I can't really help as I have never attempted to source anything for backing but you could try starting with Archival Survival.
They dont look like they have what you are after (except mylar) but they may be able to point you in the right direction.

Thanks for the reply, I think I have managed to get everything more or less. My journey in poster restoration will start shortly.
