Paris Oil Primed Ultimate Stretched Linen CanvasSave Up to77%Off list…by 2-1/4" wide stretchers offer more support to the canvas, as the bulk of the size is in the width. Larger size canvases also feature 3/4" deep by 2-1/4" wide cross braces for added support. * Premium, classic European-style stretched linen canvas * Texture of the surface is in the medium range *… Premium Heavy Duty European Style and Quality Linen - The ultimate stretched linen canvas for oil color artists! Beginning with only the finest quality long-yarn linen fibers, Paris canvas is woven into a medium weight fabric with a 42 TPI warp and 40 TPI weft. The linen is hand washed and pumiced to a lovely even surface, then coated with a layer of glue sizing and three coats of archival, non-yellowing, off-white oil primer, and is hand-sanded between coats for ideal adhesion. This oil primer is specially formulated to produce beautiful results with oil paints: as it is non-absorbent, the oils in the paint are allowed to sit up on the surface, making for luminous, refractive effects only possible with oil paints used on the proper ground. Once primed and dried, the canvas is stretched onto an innovative designed solid pine stretcher bars — instead of the standard tongue-and-groove join of regular stretcher bars, these bars feature slot-lap joins that are far less likely to go out of square. In addition, the 1" deep by 2-1/4" wide stretchers offer more support to the canvas, as the bulk of the size is in the width. Larger size canvases also feature 3/4" deep by 2-1/4" wide cross braces for added support. * Premium, classic European-style stretched linen canvas * Texture of the surface is in the medium range * Linen is hand-washed and pumiced for a fine surface * Luxurious non-absorbent, non-yellowing, off white oil primer * Bars feature slot-lap joins that are far less likely to go out of square * 1" deep by 2-1/4" wide stretchers offer more support to the canvas * Larger size canvases also feature 3/4" deep by 2-1/4" wide cross braces for added support * Hand-sanded between coats for excellent adhesion * Innovative stretcher and cross bar system stays square * Meticulously inspected at each stage of manufacture * The finest painting support for oil colors, crafted without compromise! The canvas is wrapped onto the stretchers and tacked along the sides with traditional copper tacks, a method that distributes the stress of the canvas more securely and ensures the strength of the stretching over time. The overlapping canvas corners are not cut, but folded carefully, and excess canvas is stapled onto the back of the stretcher frame, making for easy re-stretching if ever necessary. Once finished, each canvas is individually inspected and only once inspection is passed is it stamped with the Paris logo on the back of the product. Finally, cardboard corner protectors are added to prevent damage in shipping or storage, so the canvas that arrives to you is perfect in every way.

Paris Canvas Copper TacksSave Up to37%Off list…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… 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
