Stretching canvas, by giiiant on Mar 28, 2008 13:32:57 GMT 1, Does anyone here have any experience with putting canvas on stretcher bars? Is it a DIY thing or will I need to take it to a framers?
The canvas was previously on bars but then taken off so there are indentations.
I noticed some bars the right size on eBay, would it be wise to just buy four of them and hope for the best or...
Thanks

Yup it's an original... Ruining the paint wouldn't be in my best interests to say the least
Thanks!

Agree, its not all that expensive to have done.

If you do give it a go make sure its at room temperature, too cold and it will cause problems
