This is wonderful! I learned some valuable tips here - I also thought the canvas was already stretched and had no idea what the wooden wedges were for!

The information about using the wooded key wedges is so helpful for a beginner. I've bought canvas' all ready stretched but had no idea what the wedges were for.
As for sanding...there is a tool called "Peavey Home PRO 30 - piece Mouse Sander Set" for about $25 or $30 that works well on canvas...even removing paint from used canvas' that you are unhappy with & will never sell.

Has this video been removed from YouTube? I couldn't get it to work, although sometimes YouTube is 'banned' in Turkey. Maybe it could be uploaded like the ones Tony puts on.

Thanks for adding this one Dave, Just the info I was looking for.

This is great,

We should have more general helpful videos, as opposed to Simply Painting.

I hope everyone feels they can add videos on whatever medium they choose.

Well Done
