I am being really silly here but cannot fathom out how to use the bundle of sticks supplied with a pre-prepared box canvas. There are off-set slots in the back of the wooden frame and 8 sticks supplied with a diagonal cut on one end. Can anyone help, Thank You! Steph

Hello Steph!

The offset slots are for wedges, which you can use when the canvas is stretched over the frame; ensure that the slanted slots are facing inside the frame.
If you still have problems, come back to me and I'll try to help.

Thanks Steve. Still can't work it out. So there must be 2 sticks per corner as 8 are supplied? What happens with the blunt end, do they go in the slot too, in a diagonal fashion, they don't really seem to fit that way, its a mystery to me!
