Using the edge of the frame as a guide, trim the excess canvas such that there is no more than 1.5” of material from the outside of edge of the frame. |

|
Place image face-down on the table and, starting with the top edge, grab the canvas with the canvas pliers with the chin/lip of the pliers levered against the frame. Staple the back of the frame opposite the pliers every 1.5” or so. |
Starting in the middle and working toward the edges helps. Once you have worked all around the canvas, remove the 3 temporary staples in the top of the canvas. (repair holes with colored pencil if desired) |
|
There will be excess material at the corners; fold the corners OR cut out a piece of excess and then fold. Staple corners and double check that all staples have been tapped flat.

|
Spray protective finish onto canvas. Let dry 3 min, and repeat
3 times and then let it sit for a day.
rem-Only apply spray after inks have cured for 3 days. |
