Needle Point Breeze just posted a photo of the colorful FrameLok tools.
What is a FrameLok? It's a set of four gadgets you insert in the inside corners of those old stretcher bars you've had for eons that aren't tight any more. Just add thumb tacks and the stretcher bars are no longer wonky, but stay straight.
This video demonstrates the process. Note that these are regular sized stretcher bars, not the minis. I suspect they'll hang over the side a bit if you are using mini stretcher bars but I think they'll still work.
They come four to a package and you'll need thumbtacks to secure them. You can read the heartwarming story of how they were invented here.
Here are shops that carry FrameLoks if your favorite store doesn't.
