Greetings all:

I've heard many answers to this riddle, but I would appreciate your esteemed feedback:

Do you use a dust-cover (Kraft paper) for canvas paintings? If yes, why and if no, why not??

I heard that some framers do cover for aesthetic reasons, others say the canvas should breathe, and if covered, open some slits in the dust-cover, etc.

Many customers are equally and rightfully confused as well.

What do you think??

How's about a "dead horse" forum?

Who wants to go first with some prime topics?

Michael's
Big Boxes
How much should I charge?
Dustcovers for canvases--or canvi (the plural)
When do you use----fill in the blank
How's your season? (christmas, summer, quarter, etc)
How late are you open for the holidays?

Ad nauseum.

Think it's a pretty good idea. I'll moderate in 1 1/2 yrs

Or we could call the forum ad naseum. ;) A little latin might give the topics some sense of percieved credibility. And then we could leave Warped to <strike>religion, politics and blonde jokes</strike> less divisive topics.
