My situation is a little different, I think, I have used canvas and only oil paint. My concern is that the canvas will use the screw holes as a tear point. Any recommendations appreciated. Frame and skinning is posted on my wordpress page Happy Haven Forge if you want to look at what I have. I was thinking about stapling around the hole and then using some expoy on the hole. Of course it makes it kind of permanent. I am in Albania and supplies lines here are a bit different. Just looking to reassure myself that my thinking is correct. Of course better ideas if I can make them happen will be used. Thanks!
