The moulding is a floater frame by Roma and the canvas is on regular depth stretcher bars. The moulding has two options for fitting, and the customer wanted the canvas to fit snugly to the inside of the frame (no lip remember). This left about a 1/2" gap between the back of the canvas and the moulding.
I'm not usually a fan of floater frames, but this one looks great. My dilema is . . . how do I attach the canvas and the moulding. The canvas is a very snug fit, but I want to secure it.
On other floaters I have used screw eyes attached to the frame and then a screw through to the stretcher bar. It would take a 1" long screw to use that method here. If I have made my description clear, you will understand that offset clips and mending plates do not apply here. Is it OK to use velcro?
