<p>[QUOTE="mirana, post: 9615416, member: 79705"]That looks like masking tape so it will probably flake away as you get going. Tape removal won't hurt canvas or wood anymore than it already is. Many tapes have acids that actually damage art so I'd remove it anyway. You shouldn't need to replace it. It may be what is holding the painting into it's frame. In which case, the proper method is to use non-acidic archival tape on the interior of the wood frame, to prevent acid from coming from the wood into the art (many people skip this step...up to you for longevity). Then buy off-sets at your hardware store. You can also use nails or staples, if you feel comfortable.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
