Pins with one post, how do you keep them straight?

[Taz_Hokie]

I just tried my first (small) shadowbox w/ canvas and, as you can see, Aurora seems to be a little drunk. Snow could use some help too. I was thinking about getting some of the sticky dots but wasn't sure how well that would hold up. Has anyone else found a better solution to this first-world problem?

I have this problem too, but have never tried to figure it out. Looking at your shadow
box, could you use a straight pin? It looks awesome by the way!!!!

Try a little museum wax. I have not used it in your application. It's non toxic so it should not discolor or harm metal or fabric.

I wonder if you could use something sticky on the rubber stoppers on the outside of the canvas, instead of on the back of the pin, that way they wont get damaged? I bet you could even just put tape over the stoppers or something. It wouldn't show. Just an idea.

I use blue painters tape behind the pin when needed, I fold the tape and stick it , another option is a drop of rubber cement , it peels right off when you need it off

Hot glue gun works also, that also will peel right off when needed.

Don't know what it's called but I use some sort of clay (idk?) that sticks to walls and such, that you can kneed. It'll just peel off as well.
