Will these work with canvas?
Asked by: Colleen
The Savage Background Leader Bar (3-Pack, 8.9' Long) should work with most Canvas. It is made to work with paper, vinyl, and cloth backdrops. If the canvas is unusually thick, it might be tough to fit in.

Can this be cut down? I need 86” wide
Asked by: Aleksey
Hi Aleksey! You can definitely cut down a 107" leader bar to 86" wide. We recommend using a fine tooth saw, and make sure to not cut where the clips are inside the leader bar.
