Hi Juan,
I don't use too much pressure when I glue my panels to my completed paintings; I just throw on some big art books. My paintings are neither super-smooth nor super-chunky so I don't see scratching of varnish or flattening of impasto. (I use Gamvar varnish with some wax medium to dull the shine a litte, maybe this helps?)
Primed linen taped to a board is great for open studio settings. I am really picky about placement on paintings and I get upset at myself when I'm off an inch or so. I can recrop later to a square, oval, horizontal format, even a circle if I feel like it later on.
I have a closet full of rolled up paintings on linen. How old is too old to stretch, do you think?
(And I love your IA series, too!)
