But I agree with Michele that if you are in doubt, or are too wealthy, you should buy a ready made canvas.

Too wealthy, LOL.
For this job I would have bought ready made had I not needed an odd size. Also, I have been interested in begining my own stretching as ready-mades almost always are cut to the edge of the stretcher. Nothing to grab in the event it needs removing. I should have tested the "stretching and priming" waters before a paid job made it necessary to panic.

Then you must prime it and sand it and prime again.

On sanding. Lightly or heavy and with what weight sandpaper? May I use my sanding "mouse" for this job?
Thanks Garth, I do have a pair of pliers, albeit cheapies. If I'm going to stretch the balance of this roll I will need to upgrade
