I haven't stretched a canvas in 12 years. Shame on me! This was a great refresher and I loved the finish product. Thanks!

Canvas pliers, and yes, I was instructed to pull the canvas with the same tool.

today we stretched out first canvas today in art, and we pulled the canvas with this little things, im not sure what they're called, and i was wondering if you ever use those. Theyre kinda like pliers and you pull the canvas out the same way you did with your fingers.

sorry if this is a stupid question im just beginning this: do you have to wet the linen before stretching it?

its nice to see how to stretch a canvas but why bother if u are just going to do a collage on it it would be easier to use a piece of mdf!

Do you always paint the sides black no matter what is on the front? Could you show us how you stretch a large gallery wrap canvas please? Thanks in advance,

I agree (on the staples in the back)...a cleaner look and you only have to paint the sides black for gallery viewing. You can only do this on much thicker stretcher bars though for the look to come off well, and in this case, I was teaching a workshop and had student grade stretcher strips (which are thinner) to work with. These thinner stretcher strips I generally always staple on the sides then frame with painted lattice.
Thanks for all the comments!
