Get rid of old paintings
Hmmm, why throw out a good canvas when you can paint over it? If it has heavy application of paint scrap it with a razor then cover with under paint white. (MG white dries fast).
Also if the paint is completely dry you can use Gesso. Latex gesso will not stick over oils that are not completely dry. Now you have a canvas for those quick studies that can help work out a idea or composition or just any thing you want to practice and not worry about the cost of the canvas since you were throwing it out anyway. And If it comes out good then keep it if not scrape it off and use it over again.
