Best glue for mounting canvas to wood – suggestions please.
Hi All,
As title, I’m looking for suggestions on a decent quality glue which will ‘stick’ canvas paper firmly to a wooden frame.
I’ve decided to make all my canvas art this way, instead of using masking tape with staples etc.
Suggestions welcome!

My first reaction is why?
A quality contact adhesive will stick canvas to wood but if you’re planning to wrap or tension the canvas on a frame (which you imply as saying not going to staple?) it probably wont work as most adhesive bonds are weakest when a shear force is applied -
have used pva glue in the past no problem

Staples all the way.
We’ve stretched in excess of 1.3 million canvases and never have even considered glueing these.
If you you want your canvas to be nice and tight, you need to stretch it, confused how you would do this with glue.

Simon you did read that right.
We used to have multiple stores running on a very popular auction site turning some serious amounts of money…back in the day when we started this was our main line canvas printing and stretching. At our peak we had 10 canons printers side by side printing around 300 m a day.
Was a nice little market until every tom dick and Harry started selling them and killed the prices.
We still manufacture canvas but only high end stuff now. Not interested in cheap flee bay selling
