7/8" thick panels are best if you wish to custom frame your finished works. You can either spray with an acrylic coating only and frame under glass or you can use Golden polymer coatings in gloss, matte or satin finishes and frame without glass. Before applying coatings spray with acrylic coating to seal works and make them waterproof. Certainly, you can use these for frameless presentation and this is always an option.

1-5/8" thick panels are for frameless presentation. You can stain or paint the edges as desired. After painting spray with an acrylic coating to make the work waterproof. Then you can seal using Golden polymer coatings in gloss, matte or satin finishes. For a resin finish we recommend Pebeo Glazing Resin.

So never worry about buckling of the paper, get a perfect painting experience and go frameless if you like.
