Have any of the below ever happened to your canvas.

1. You bought a canvas and went you went to paint it was loose on the stretcher bars.
2. You finished a painting that is now drying and the canvas is rippling.
3. You dropped the painting against something and how it has a dent on the painted side.

These are all fairly common problems. There is an easy fix to all of these. Canvas that is pre-made and pre-packaged usually has a glue like substance married into the fibers. Cotton and linen canvas usually shrinks when wet so here is what you do:

1. Remove frame the painting if already framed.
2. Turn the painting to the back-side and locate the dent.
3. Spray the dent with a generous amount of warm water using a spray bottle.
4. Take a clean cloth and gentle massage the water into the fibers.
5. Blow-dry until dent is gone.
6. If needed do this several times with larger dents.

(Note: Thick canvas materials like linen may need more than one application.)
