Hello arty groovers,All busy wrecking pefectly good canvas/paper like me I trust.I have a question -Canvas keys! To tighten up the sagging canvas right! Well that's fine, but how do you bang them in without putting them through the side of you canvas?They have a bevel (corner missing) on one end so that you can have them in such a way that the missing corner will not poke through the side of your prized painting when put in, but mine still did.I use 'loxley' canvases so they ain't cheepy Mccheep ones or anything.Any thoughts?Cheers big ears...zis.Chalks
