I don't use canvas and I really, I mean REALLY like my plaster boards. I
can use cement board for just plain wedging but plaster does the work of
drying out my clay that is typically wet. However, you have given me an
idea of putting a canvas on the plaster board. That might serve my
needs. Canvas should not be a problem with dust as long as it is sponged
down before use.
Thanks, Donna
