Copper tacks provide strength, durability, corrosion protection and are less prone to ripping canvas than wire staples or upholstery… Durable, copper-coated tacks for classic canvas stretching! For centuries, copper tacks were the only acceptable way to stretch canvas onto wooden support frames. Copper tacks provide strength, durability, corrosion protection and are less prone to ripping canvas than wire staples or upholstery tacks. Some artists use copper-dipped #6 upholstery tacks on their canvases, believing that they are as safe and durable as artists' tacks. Due to the sharp, jagged linear tooth of the upholstery tack, a rough slit is created, causing possible tearing over time with canvas flex or if re-stretching is necessary. Paris Copper Tacks are made of a durable steel base coated in a thick layer of corrosion and rust-resistant solid copper. The copper coating is essential as rust and corrosion around non-copper tacks will eat away the canvas or linen fabric, rendering the tacks useless. Artists wishing to adopt the highest standards in the materials they work with use copper tacks. Stop using staple guns for stretching canvas, and add archival value to your paintings with affordable and long-lasting Paris Copper Tacks! Key Features: * Durable tacks for stretching canvas * Made of sturdy steel and thick copper coating * Corrosion and rust-resistant * Tacks measure approximately 5/8" long * Available in 3.3 oz. plastic jars * Add archival value to your paintings! * Perfect For: * Securing stretched linen and cotton * Professionally finished canvas back * Much better presentation than normal staples * Commissioned work * Adding archival value to your paintings * Staying true to a centuries-old canvas stretching method Tips from the Products Specialist when using Paris Copper Tacks: We suggest that you use a magnetic hammer. The hammer's magnetic head will ease frustration from dropped tacks and provide a more comfortable balance when stretching with one hand and nailing with the other. It would be best if you also used a normal-sized hammer instead of a tiny trim hammer. Quality stretchers are designed to be durable, and a heftier hammer will make driving the tack much easier and faster. See More

The secret acrylic polymer formula is acid-free and archival. The water in Tight'n'Up™ makes the canvas threads to expand, shrinking their length, naturally tightening the canvas. Acrylic binders in the spray trickle between the canvas fibers, and give extra support to the canvas. When the water evaporates, the acrylic remains in the fabric and prevents the material from relaxing to its loosened state, thereby maintaining the increased tension. Tight'n'Up™ may be applied to the entire back surface of the canvas, but it is best for problem areas. Key Features:* Removes wrinkles, sags, and ripples* Patented technology that tightens-up loose canvases* May be applied to the affected areas of the canvas, or the whole canvas* Apply before or after painting* Spray the back of the canvas* Will not harm the canvas, oil or gesso priming* Dries clear so it will not affect the look of the piece Perfect For:* Any canvas tension problems* Cotton, linen, and other natural fiber canvases* Removing wrinkles, sags, and ripples* Leaving the canvas flat and tight* Quick and easy clean up* Everyday studio use   See More
