This is not to advocate for the home-made-canvas. But I think wee should consider this: When a canvas is primed at the factory it will be rolled immediately when it is "dry". Then comes a period of "curing", that may be a hardening process, I believe.
One day we buy the canvas in the shop and stretch it. Then, what happens? The dry curved paint will crack, won
