The water doesn't take too long to dry - depending on how much water you spray, perhaps 30 minutes or less? If the water doesn't work, then a product like Tight'N'Up may do a better job (but as I said, water has always done the trick for me). I have used the water-spraying trick on several occasions to successfully even out any dents or wobbles in the canvas.

You may be able to use a hammer and bang it back into place, so that it lines up evenly with the stretcher bars that are straight. If that is the case, try to identify which corner isn't hanging flat against the wall and check if the stretcher bars are warped or bent. If the paint film is separating from the ground or undercoat, a torn oil painting can still be repaired by patching with PC-1035 Lining Compound or Beva 371.
