7M
The wax is paraffin wax plus hardeners and palm wax.
The support is a 24 x 36″‘ gessoed commercial canvas, 1.5” deep. covered on all sides with black drill.
The mutton cloth in this case was cut twice - once in bands off the roll of cloth, and then I opened the rounds out into strips by cutting one end. This allowed for greater curl or encircling from edge to edge, and produced much thinner strips when waxed - so a massive 7 meters and 2.5kg of wax used, and allowed more black to show through where it landed in single layers !
Details can be seen below.
