DESCRIPTION

HOW TO MOUNT A CANVAS PAINTING?

• Tear off the protective paper from the adhesive tape on the wooden bars
• Insert the bars into the 4 silicone corner pieces
• Make sure that the taped sides of the 4 bars are facing outwards
• Place the untaped side of the assembled frame on the back of the tarpaulin to mark the edges of the corner pieces
• Cut off the excess canvas at the markings
• Press each of the bars successively so that they adhere to the canvas
• Trim the 4 edges of the canvas at a 45º angle
• Remove the corner pieces while pressing
• Make a centre cut in each corner and fold them over at each end to adhere them to the bars
• Fold two sides of the frame up and insert the staples from the accessory kit into the existing holes. Do the same procedure for the other 3 corners
• Remove the masking paper from the adhesive tape on the bar and stick each piece of tarpaulin to the bar
• Insert a backing plate in each corner for extra fixation
• To hang the painting on the wall you can use the hooks and screws included in the accessory kit
