That is true and so I'm going to use some thin pieces of wood to attach the material too. I'd like to use glue only since it would require a little less work covering the screws, but not entirely sure how well this would work. I think it could work, but would require at least one screw hole to pull the material down and tight for the glue to set, but I haven't made any firm decisions yet, but will shortly since I'd like to tie the ribbons on this project and move on to the next, which will be somewhat challenging. grin.
