Canvas stretching?

hancoveguy · 05-03-2010, 12:31 AM

Hello all,
Quick question...The canvas on my 24' wellcraft bowrider is in good shape, however, it appears to have shrunk a bit. It is roughly 1" too short/tight at the back of the bow cover and the cockpit cover. I don't want to rip the cover or damage the snaps on the boat.

Any thoughts on either stretching the canvas or are there tools that will help me snap it?

thanks
HCG

Also, I know there is a product that you can apply to rejuvenate the water repellancy but I can't remember what it is...
