So we'll go to the last remaining side put in a staple o.k. so once again we have this staple right here we want to go, sorry, directly opposite of it probably about right there. So pull really tightly this time. This makes a big difference so we're pulling it as tight as we can here ok. Ok so there we have that staple in now you can see it's basically pretty tight here there's some wrinkles and all that but it's going to be smoothed out as we add the rest of the staples. Now the canvas is pretty firmly on the stretcher. You can also see that the staples, we pretty successfully put them exactly opposite of each other and that makes a difference when you are first getting it on there. As I said things will be straightened out the more staples we put on.
