Help! Sagging Linen!




I have a LINEN canvas that keeps sagging. I have tried many tricks, re-stretching for one, lightly misted the back with water and let dry and used stretcher keys.
Does any one have a suggestion on how to tighten stretched LINEN that sags? I have heard that misting the back with rubbing alcohol works. Does any one know anything about that or if it works???
Thanks!
Lisa
