Hello

I have had to post several canvas's in the past and had no bad reports with bubble wrapping them and then cutting a cardboard box down to size and plenty of parcel tape. All have arrived at their destination with no probs.

Hello

For fixing the canvas to the frame Lion do an offset clip in various sizes from 3.2mm to 31mm. I've used them and you can bend them a bit if they are a bit big for your needs.

I think its a case of suck it and see ! I've tried three ways of doing it now - finish the length of moulding before cutting, finish the completed frame and for my latest effort I've cut the moulding to length and then finished it. All three have turned out well, so just have a play and see how you ...

Hello

Just a quick question on the same topic - do you find that staples are up to the job or do you use tacks ?

Thanks
Chris
