Description (Click for more info)
ACF Box Board Frame: A 40mm deep-edge panel with 3mm HDF, offering a smooth, warp-resistant surface ideal for oils, acrylics, and mixed media. Proper sealing ensures archival stability, making it a reliable choice for professional and hobbyist artists alike.
Superior Surface Stability: Unlike plywood, the 3mm HDF panel provides a completely flat, smooth, and warp-resistant surface, eliminating concerns about checking or surface cracks over time.
No Wood Grain Interference: HDF's uniform fiber composition ensures no visible wood grain or knots, providing an uninterrupted surface ideal for detailed and precise work, from oils to mixed media.
Archival Potential with Proper Preparation: As recommended by MITRA, when properly sealed with a high-quality acrylic primer or sealer, HDF can achieve excellent archival stability, making it a reliable option for long-term artwork preservation.
Versatile for Various Techniques: The dense composition and solid backing make it ideal for techniques like palette knife painting, heavy layering, and even resin pouring, with no risk of sagging.
Lightweight Yet Durable: The 3mm HDF panel is lightweight for easy handling, while the box board frame offers robust support, making it suitable for large works and high-impact techniques.
MITRA Insights on Preparing HDF
To enhance HDF's archival qualities, MITRA suggests:
- Sealing both sides and all edges of the panel with a high-quality acrylic dispersion (e.g., GAC 100 or an equivalent sealer).
- Following up with an acrylic gesso or another suitable primer to create a barrier that reduces potential acidity migration from the HDF and improves paint adhesion.
