needlepoint canvas flammable?

20 years ago

does anyone know how flammable clear needlepoint mesh canvas is? i need it for ontop of my saltwater aquarium like a cover, but it will be about 2" below an aquarium lighting fixture, the light emits 80 watts, not as strong as an incadescent bulb but warmer than a flourescent.

so do you think the canvas will melt or burn under these conditions?

I don't think it would be flammable, but would melt under high enough heat. Why don't you put a small piece on top of the aquarium for a test. My guess is that it will be ok. Good luck!
