To begin, gather all the components you need. Your print on canvas, GOframe 1500 Pro Bars in the correct length for your finished frame, a set of GOframe Pro Bar Corners, some corner pins and tensioning inserts, a cutting tool and a bottle of archival quality glue.

Start by removing the adhesive liner from the wide piece of tape on the front of the bar. Insert each bar into the GOframe 1500 Pro Bar Corners using the built-in notches and grooves to ensure each bar lays flat.

Place your print face down on your clean work surface. Then position your frame face down on top. The notches around the edge of the corner clamps can be used as a guide to ensure the frame is centered.

Once you are happy with the position of your frame, apply pressure to each of the bars to secure it to the back of your canvas.

Remove the GOframe 1500 Pro Bar Corners and store them in a safe place for future use.

Trim around the edges to remove the excess canvas using the wooden bars as a guide to ensure your cut is straight. Then trim diagonally across each corner. Cut into each corner at a 45-degree angle to create corner tabs. These will give a clear corner finish on your stretched canvas frame.

Gently lift each bar and apply a thin bead of glue down the length between the bar and the canvas. If too much glue is applied, simply wipe away the excess with a clean cloth before continuing.

Fold up each corner tab and apply pressure to secure them to each bar. To create the edges of your finished canvas, lift the bars so that the corners meet. Using the pre-drilled holes in each bar, insert the corner pins to hold the bars in-place.

Finish stretching your canvas with the tensioning inserts. Simply align each insert with the grooves on the back of each bar, then apply pressure to secure in-place.

Your frame is now finished. But if you desire a cleaner finish on the back, the narrower piece f tape on the top of each bar can be removed.

Use the GOframe 1500 pro bar corners as a guide to cut diagonal lines across each corner of your frame.
