Hi folks,

My tip is: don't stretch them. When on the road, I take an 18" x 24" (fits in a suitcase) piece of Homosote board - the fibrous, gray stuff they used to make bulletin boards in school way back--with the crumbly edges duct-taped. I take my canvas pieces rolled loose, and thumbtack a new piece to the Homosote on the easel and paint. At the end of the workshop, I stack them up front to back, tack thru all of them flat, cover it with Saran Wrap or a plastic bag, and pack and bring it home that way.

Worth a try -

Tom
