Since an artist wants to display their artwork, they need the most optimal support for their canvas, one that withholds with time, and stretcher bars is what comes to mind. Using Kiln Pine Wood, our designers ensure that they only pick the best and unknotted ones from the stock. The edges of the wood are rounded to provide you with a tighter and smoother frame for the canvas.
The roundness of the edges has two other benefits. First, it permits you to see and get clear edges on canvases with exact borders, and second, it enables the canvas to carefully weave over the stretcher bar instead of snapping over a sharp edge, which could result in a damaged canvas. The durability of the stretcher bar is achieved by joining the corners of the frame with v-nails and glue.
The stretcher bar is available in sizes, Light(0.72\"), Medium(1\"), and Heavy (1.4\"). The prices of the stretcher bar per strip vary as well depending on its length, ranging from 8 to 50. The variation in length and size will help you fulfill your canvas requirements, as you will able to find the perfect stretcher bar to display your creativity to people.

After hearing a few experienced artists say they just threw their wedges away and later hearing them wonder about the best way to tighten up a slightly sagging canvas, I decided maybe the humble canvas wedge needed some clarification.
From the back of the canvas slide a wedge, point first (top of the triangle), into each slot, one at a time. Give them a tap with a small tack or finishing hammer. Be gentle. Bashing it could split the wood of the wedge, or you could bounce off and hit the back of the canvas, or over-stretching of an oil painting could crack the brittle painted surface. Some artists tap downward with the side of the canvas on the table or floor, some tap upwards. I find upwards to be more difficult to aim, but try both and see which works best for you. Do one corner at a time and try to tap with the same force for each corner so the tension is even. There will be two in each corner, eight per canvas. Check the front of the canvas and if you need to, go around and tap them all again. I find that sometimes one corner is sagging more than the others and it might help to give that one corner a few more taps.
It is good practice to try to get your bars to spread apart a bit before you start tapping in your wedges, rather then just using the wedges themselves to push the bars apart. Best practice is that you should do all the movement of the bars by pulling and tapping on the bars to expand them and only inserting the wedges after you have expanded the frame. They are called keys or retainers because they fit in the space you have created to retain the expansion of the bars.
Apparently the reason the canvases are stapled in this way is because the stretchers are put together first before the canvas is stretched and it prevents the rectangle from moving and becoming a rhombus before the material is attached. They are made by hand and not by machine.
Of course you could un-wrap the corners and remove the staples, and as now stretched, the canvas will not distort and you could then push the wedges in for more tension. I realise this is not an ideal solution, but these canvases are very popular and we have sold thousands of them without this issue being raised (until now!) so we feel this proves that the original tension is usually excellent.
Hi CarolYes, they are meant to be left in to hold the corners apart. They should be inserted so well that they do not fall out later. They are sometimes called canvas keys, referring to the idea of a keystone, the last stone added to a building that locks everything into place and cannot be removed.
But I find that on all canvases but especially on large canvases, I get a better tension if I hammer on the centre of the bar with a block of wood against the bar and then tap the wedges in. I think it is because when I hammer on the centre of the bar it moves both ends of the bar the amount that they will freely go, which might be slightly different to each other. If I do that on the centre of all four bars (I often tap upwards so the weight of the canvas gives something to push against) I usually get an even tightening, then when I tap the wedges in I do it quite lightly, just until they stick.
Hi DawnProbably not. I have personally found this a very difficult task where I wet the bars and dry the canvas under weights and it may still re-warp later. My framer said the warping is so strong that if you bend a warped canvas flat with a frame it will break the frame in order to go back to the warped position.
Thank you so much. I also threw away someof these wedges and I found it very puzzlingthat there was no diagram or instruction forhow they should be used. I think it would bea great help to artists new to stretchedcanvas to give a short description ordiagram of the process within thepackaging material. 781b155fdc
