Are there longer offset clips available for the thicker stretcher bars that are 1-3/8" or 1-1/2" thick, on the "gallery wrap" canvasses? The offsets at ASW that Michele posted only go up to 1/2" offset, and the local artist supply stores don't have them. The rabbet on the frame I have is only 3/8" deep immediately around the canvas (with deeper sides out at the edge of the frame).

One of the framers I work with told me a trick he uses when the canvas is thick and sticks out quite a bit from the back of a frame. I'll actually be using this method myself in a day or two on a very deep canvas.
He puts several screw eyes into the sides of the canvas one or two on each side, and then puts a screw down through each hole, into the frame. This will hold any depth of canvas into any frame.
Longer offset clips?
