Hello guys and girls,

I am pretty sure there will be some real expertise here and I am in need of some advice please

My Mother is retired and is now spending most of her time painting - I went to visit her recently and her apartment is absolutely overrunning with canvases, including some really nice finished pieces that are getting damaged (knocked over / dirty etc). So I want to help her pack them up and store them so that they are protected - would have no idea where to start on this however!

Could someone kindly offer me some advice?

I would assume just some kind of plastic sheeting wrapped around and then taped? But is there a risk that it might over time adhere to the paint?

Is plastic a good idea given humidity may build inside or something?

Many thanks in advance for any thoughts / ideas

I would start with this...

www.uline.ca/Product/Detail/S-12942/Specialty-Paper/Glassine-Paper-Rolls-48-x-300?pricode=YA651&gadtype=pla&id=S-12942&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIjKfUvbnn1gIVglmGCh1xNgbOEAQYASABEgJilfD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds

I use it to wrap canvases, prints, pretty much anything I want to protect, I use this as the first layer. After that you have a lot more flexibility in terms of boxes or bags what have you.

would bubble wrap around glassine paper be a bad idea? should a canvas be able to "breathe" somewhat?
