Hi, I was wondering if anyone could help come up with a solution to an issue we are having canvassing our first canoe. We followed all the instructions in this old canoe but have an issue with bunching around the final tacks at the end on the bow and stern. We took it out of the stretching system and was preparing to close then ends when the last 2-3 fasteners on the ends of the ribs came out. Now we have lost the tension by not having the tension system how do we get enough tension to refasten the canvas to last ribs while retaining tension and getting bunching out? Are there any methods since the outline on bow and stern curve have been loosely trimmed. Just having difficulties getting the canvas smooth. Any advice would be helpful or is it a case of starting with a new roll of canvas.
Thanks in advance
