## Overview

## Description

Ampersand Art Supply's Museum Series Gessobord is a truly archival surface for oil and acrylic painting. Gessobord is made from our premium warp-resistant 1/8" profile FSC-Certified Hardbord that is sealed and protected with our proprietary Archiva-Seal to prevent yellowing from Support Induced Discoloration (SID). Each panel is individually coated with a professional artists’ grade acid-free acrylic gesso for a slight, even texture. Artists choose wood painting panels because the surface offers more vibrant colors, allows for precise detail and is an overall better support than canvas for their artwork. Ampersand panels are strong enough to hold up to the most rigorous palette knife painting and heavy layers of collage and will not bow or flex like canvas. Only Ampersand builds cradles by hand with premium-grade, 13-ply birch plywood for maximum stability and a clean, finished look from edge to edge. Choose from 3/4", 1 1/2" and 2" deep cradles, offering support and presentation all-in-one. Gessobord is perfect for oil, acrylic, palette knife painting, plein air, fine brushwork, mixed media, and is also a great surface for mounting papers, photos, giclee's and canvas! All Ampersand Museum Series Gessobord panels are eco-friendly, formaldehyde-free, and proudly handcrafted in the USA.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What hardware do I use to hang this on the walls they are on the heavy side. 30 x 30 x 2" craddled gessobord**
A: In the past, I've used either saw-tooth hangers mounted to the back frame of the gessoboard (two positioned equal distance from both sides), or eyelets with wire affixed to the inside of the craddle/frame (one each on the right side and left side, towards the top edge of the frame). If heavy, I would recommend the latter approach.

**Q: that is the price for ONE board?**
A: These boards are priced individually, and our price includes the cost of shipping as well.

**Q: How to "mount" sawtooth hangers on 6x6 board?**
A: There is a half inch wooden border on the back of my Gessobard  but
mine is a 12"  x 12" so plenty of room for a sawtooth hanger.  I don't know about
6" x 6".  I wire my boards which I think works best.

**Q: Two questions: would these be suitable for block printing using a water based ink? 2) Do these have the little slot on the back for hanging?**
A: Question 1: I'm not totally sure of the answer, but I would say possibly, yes. I have used acrylic on there, and I used a lot, so it held up pretty well under that.Question 2: No, unfortunately.
