Removing a Dent in a Canvas

Helpful tips to add to your painting knowledge.

By Marion Boddy-Evans, About.com

If you lightly moisten the back of the canvas where the dent is, it should dry smooth.
Tip from: Arthur.

If you're trying to remove a small dent in a canvas and the trick of spraying the back with a plant misting bottle full of water doesn't work, trying using a professional spray starch in a can. But, like with water, don't oversaturate the canvas.
