Wedge Retainers - Canvas damage protection


Canvas damage protection
Today, with pictures frequently travelling to exhibitions abroad, the reliable securing of wedges is a necessary prerequisite to avoid the problem of lost wedges and, worse still, damage to a canvas due to a loose wedge becoming dislodged during transport or movement. Such situations are not acceptable and it is everyone's responsibility to protect a painting once restored.

Julian Spencer-Smith's answer was to design Wedge Retainers which he used initially on all pictures restored at his Studio. They have been well received and are now used by many restorers and liners worldwide.

The Wedge Retainers are produced in a dull gold colour, being made from high density polyethylene and are quickly and simply tacked into position.


Wedge Retainers offer a solution to securing wedges, but also have the advantage over traditional ways of being very quick and simple to apply and giving a neat, pleasing finish to the back of the picture.

These Retainers are particularly useful when re-using old stretchers where the problem of keeping the joint and wedges in the correct position will be familiar to many.
