We give a direct estimate for the quasiconvex hull Q(e) (K) on linear strains generated by a finite set of linear strains K subset of M-s(3) of symmetric matrices. The problem is directly related to the microstructure modelled by the multiwell problem and its corresponding macroscopic effect. We bound the quasiconvex envelope Q(e) dist(e(X), K) near an exposed edge of the convex hull C(K) that does not have compatible connections. Our bounds depend on the weak type-(1, 1) estimate for certain singular integral operators and the eometric properties of the exposed edge
