Hi! I cut some small channel on the table saw, then taped it over wires and ran a tiny bead of acrylic caulk on the edges with one of those small tubes with a skinny tip. Did this over the cloth covering. Also, hanger clips could be used at intervals. I am using the shortest metal drywall anchors, the kind that screw in, to insert anchors in the foam. select a shorter screw of similar diameter to what they include with the anchors, and screw it in and out a couple of times to make sure it will go in easy. Use a bit about 3/16, screw it in carefully, then use a bamboo skewer ( small stick) to put about 3 1/4 inch diameter gobs of gorilla glue in the hole. Put a little more glue on end of anchor, carefully screw it in snug to the canvas or covering. When the glue sets and expands, the anchors will hold a LOT! Like pounds and pounds! Just check as the glue sets, you can wipe any small glue squeeze outs with a rag with 91 percent alcohol. I will soon use them to secure my exterior lights, they will be overkill for that, but will neatly insert and be waterproof attachment points. I bought the anchors @ Lowes, @ $7 for 25 pieces. Maybe this will help you? Later....Nodrog
