7/8" thick panels are best if you wish to custom frame your finished works. You can spray with an acrylic coating only and frame under glass, or use Golden polymer coatings in gloss, matte, or satin finishes and frame without glass. For a frameless presentation, spray with an acrylic coating to seal the artwork and make it waterproof.

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.
