I absolutely agree Tom, this was a risky process, not one to use if there are other time tested options available. I should note that I paint fairly thin as well and I'm not sure of the effect this might have if one were to have heavy paint on the surface.
Drawing on my vast knowledge of laundry :-), I do understand that hot water and a hot dryer are more likely to shrink most natural fabrics. The temperature of the water did seem to be key and I can't agree more that this shouldn't be a process in which the back of the canvas is overly wet, it should just be a light touch with a damp sponge to dampen the canvas.
