One time my canvas wasn’t pulled tight enough and I tried to pull the staples out again. My hand slipped, the screw driver shot across the frame and ripped a whole right in the canvas.
I was about to call it quits! But instead, I found a piece of vinyl the same colour as my paint and taped it onto the back of the canvas. I made sure that the hole was sealed perfectly on the front. But if any spots were showing, the vinyl colour would show up instead.
I was able to do a quick once over on the paint as well in the areas of the rip so nothing could be seen.
The Pictures on the right show the damage and the repairs.
