how do u get the wrinkles out if the canvas

Colomba d., it's nice to hear from you again. The canvas does come as you know with some folds and creases due to how it is packaged. Canvas is a fabric, so what I do is iron it from the back side of the canvas on medium heat until the folds and wrinkles are gone. Then I lay the canvas on my paint table flat and paint away. Then I stretch the painting over my framing boards. I like laying my canvas flat especially painting by the numbers, because you can guide your paint brush with better leverage. Myself I always use two coats on each number to cover the number. If you mix your paint correctly, you will have enough paint for the entire painting. You will see a definite difference in your painting when your finished using two coats. I think I have painted at least ten DiyOilPaintings kits so far. I hope this helped you out. If you have any other questions don't hesitate to ask. Don C.

I hang my article of clothing on a hanger on a rod in my laundry room and with my left hand I pull the bottom of the clothing downs and steam with the steamer in my right hand. Go slowly with the steaming on the clothing, it will smooth out wrinkles better.

i would not let it get wet. During the streching on to the frame i used a piece of tape to try and pull out a wrinkle and the tape pulled the prepared side material off.

I had the same problem. I ended up ripping a small part on the seam on the last corner I fought with for an hour to get over the frame. The canvas was rolled and folded very tight and seemed to loosen up as I wrestled to get it together. My zippers were impossible so I let it sit and settle in for a couple hours and they closed fairly easy after that. My best advice to people would to unroll the cover and stretch it around the frame slowly to let the material relax if your having trouble.

Morning. You can use a damp cloth to gently remove any stains but it must be damp not wet. Another way which is practised by many of our British customers to ensure the canvas lasts even longer is to spray it with an upholstery spray something similar to that which you might use on your sofa (obviously not with the tablet inside) and this will ensure the canvas will stay hardy for even longer.

This is what I do: if an item is wrinkled, I hang it up and spray it with water. If it's still wrinkled after it has dried, then I spray it with Mojito. Most of the time that is enough. But, if it is an especially wrinkly fabric, then I might iron it and also use spray starch. I also use spray starch after water, or Mojito, or ironing if the item is clingy. (Actually, I almost never iron anything anymore.)

I use a little portable iron on a low setting with no steam. Then whatever wrinkles stay, I use my photo editing software, GIMP, to edit out the rest. After I got the wrinkles out initially, I started storing them tightly rolled around a dowel, and wrapped in plastic, in between shoots. That also cuts down on the dust, etc that they inevitably collect. I also keep a fabric roller ( they are cheap at a dollar store) with my studio, to roll over them just before shooting. That cuts down on the background issues. My only complaint about the studio is the lights don't seem quite bright enough. Happy shooting! I use a little portable iron on a low setting with no steam.

Its a canvas photo. I wouldn't unless it was framed with glass. I don't know what water or steam would do to the canvas

Actually getting the wrinkles out would probably be difficult and futile--whatever you do to get them out once would be necessary every time you unfolded the background after collapsing it. What I do to get the wrinkles out of images is make sure that the background is a couple of stops over-exposed relative to the subject for the white side, or a couple of stops under relative to the subject for the black side. That should make most of the wrinkles disappear and if you have a few lingering, they are easy to deal with in post.

Mine was like a pop up so really didn't have any noticeable wrinkles. They should settle in a few days after being open.But I'm sure a little steam should work without damage. I just wouldn't touch it with an iron. A steam machine wouldwork best if the wrinkles are really bad.

I have not washed mine yet, but I would think if you dry it on low just for a short time (maybe 10 mins) long enough to get the wrinkles out and then hang it back up damp, it should be fine. high heat , I think would shrink it. It will air dry the rest of the way.

Mine came folded up in squares, and despite attempting to stretch it over my frame, the wrinkles are still very visible... and that was after leaving it flattened out for a couple of weeks. Unless gravity straightens things out or I can steam iron it straight, I basically just wasted $70. It's unrealistic to think I could take out the 4000 staples I've put in and restretch it.

Mine was noit creased but I think if you lay it flat in the sun it may flatten out. Or, you could try a warm iron but iron on the fabric side. Be carefull. I sure hope this works for you.

Hi Lori,It came folded to us too. I was so surprised because like you said it was uneven surface already before we use it. I thought it takes a little time to get even out, so I let it sit a few days and looks pretty even to me at the time so I start using it. Guess what, it get worse because even it looks okay wrinkles never go away. So here is you should do I think. Return it as soon as possible and get a better one. And next time you make sure how they deliver it to you! Good luck!

I find that using some of that mesh type shelf lining helps. Put that on the wood dowel then your canvas then the clamp. You might need to adjust it a couple times to get it straight, but once it's done it will stay tight and straight

They are fabric (thicker than a sheet) you might need to throw it in the dryer before the first use to get the wrinkles out :)

No wrinkles but a few creases from folding. I would suggest not ironing because it will melt. Just hang it up and they eventually come out.
