Troubleshooting
Paint not adhering well
Ensure the canvas surface is clean and free from dust or oils. For oil paints, allow adequate drying time between layers as per paint manufacturer guidelines.
Canvas appears warped or sagging
Ensure the canvas is stored in a stable environment. Minor sagging can sometimes be addressed by lightly misting the back of the canvas with water (use sparingly) and allowing it to dry under gentle weight. Check if the frame itself is damaged.
Staples are visible on the side
This is normal for canvases stapled on the reverse. If they are protruding significantly, consult the manufacturer or consider gently hammering them flat with a small hammer, being careful not to damage the canvas.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This canvas comes ready to use straight out of the packaging. No setup is required.
Compatibility: This canvas is suitable for use with acrylic paints, oil paints, and mixed media. The cotton surface provides good adhesion for most standard artist paints. It is designed to be used on its own or can be framed later if desired.
Care: Store the canvas in a dry environment away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures to prevent warping or damage to the fabric. Avoid placing heavy objects on the canvas surface. If the surface needs a light clean, use a dry or slightly damp (not wet) soft cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
