Gator Board Foam - Anyone Can Stretch Watercolor Paper

I have used many of the commercial stretchers on the market and find that most of them are quite difficult to use. Many involve the use of a hammer, a screwdriver or a special wrench.

I can tell you now that using gator board foam is the simplest way to stretch watercolor paper. Stretching watercolor paper should not be a task that may or may not work. The use of Gator Board Foam is the sure way to have perfectly stretched paper every time.

In order to tack the paper to the gator foam board you must have one key item. A household stapler. That is the only tool required.
