Shirley Lin Kinoshita I use varnished hardboard. I’ve found it better not to place red seal signature until after painting is mounted & dried. The red paste tends to soak through the paper right onto the board and leave stained area.Yan Luo Ah, great comment! In fact some clients have talked with us on the seal paste issue! We consulted one mounting master in Shanghai and he gave us two tips: first, try to use high grade cinnabar seal paste which has perfect control of oil; second, you can also try to put the painting in a clean plastic bag. Seal the bag and steam it. This second tip will help ´lock´ the ink on paper.
Gail Threinen Just a plain wooden board, unvarnished, maybe 3/4″ thick works best. I tried a laminate (plastic coated) board and the glue wouldn’t stick. I’ve used the same board for years. After I cut the dried painting off the board, I just tear off loose paper and leave the rest and have used these boards over and over. I usually put my red chop on the painting after it is mounted.
Liliane Berthelet Tourtaud Personnellement j’utiliserais du bois ou un carton très rigide. Le plastique n’étant pas absorbantReyes Muñoz Yo también estoy montando sobre madera tipo panel sin barniz y lo dejo que seque ahí y queda muy bienYes the Yang Hao are all 100% wool with one small exception, the 3 Red Star 加料羊毫 brushes which have a small amount of Viverricula Indica hair added. This adds a slightly stiffer effect but is not equivalent to the wool/’wolf‘ combination brushes which have (60–65%) weasel hair core, and 35–40% wool outer hair: these combination brushes are in a separate category 兼毫 Jian Hao Combination Brush so if you are looking under Yang Hao you shouldn’t be seeing these.
