I'm doing some of my own canvas printing at home and wrapping them on stretcher bars.
Wondering what flavors of uv spray/coating you guys have tried and what were the results?
Also curious when you should spray, before or after stretching?
Thanks for any suggestions.

I use PremierArt Print Shield. I usually let the print dry for 24hrs before spraying. Then, after spraying, I let that dry 24 hrs before stretching the canvas or mounting/matting/framing a print on paper.

I also use Premier Art Print Shield on every print (paper and canvas).
But for canvas, you also need to apply a heavier coating to keep the image from cracking or scuffing (keep in mind most canvases won't have glass to protect them). Liquid laminates are best for canvas.

For this I wholeheartedly recommend Breathing Color's Glamour II giclee veneer.
***Make sure to apply Print Shield first, otherwise the application of the veneer can pick up ink from the surface of the print.***
