Hi Sharon -

I hadn't thought about bending the panels. I can see you might do this if doing a "gallery wrap" style painting.

I'd like to emulate stretched canvas, for potential clients who might want a traditional look. I was thinking that I might be able to glue wood strips to the edges (plus the middle for bracing, if it was over 16 x 20), then take the canvas around the edge and tack it to the wood. But not sure if it would be a good thing to do, or if it is even possible.

By the time you get the BEVA and the Dibond ordered, plus the canvas, there is a fair bit of cash tied up. So, have to think this through as completely as possible.
