Thanks Garth,

Stretching primed canvasses can be a real muscle burning workout, especially in the larger dimensions.

One thing that has really helped me is a very good canvas plier, not the $12-20 cheapos that rip the canvas. I have a $90+ molybdenum Holbein that has a 4" rubber grip that really helps in stretching the canvas evenly.
