plastic bits with framed canvas
March 4, 2005 3:53 AM Subscribe
I bought a small (20x30 cm) canvas (cotton on a wooden frame, pre-whitened) to paint on yesterday and it came with 8 pieces of plastic, each about 1 cm across, 4 or 5 cm long, with one end square and the other at 45 degrees. What are they for?
They were moulded onto a "tree" (like model aircraft kits), but I'm pretty sure they're meant to be separated into the pieces I described above. If it makes any difference, the canvas is now painted (oils). Thanks.

For bracing the corners to stop warping? Sounds like there's two per corner, with the 45 degree ends butting up to each other.
