Recommendations for artist materials can change as manufacturers continue to research and test how different materials interact over time, and we update our processes as new information becomes available.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePrevious Preparation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Trekell's Oil Ground Panels were historically prepared by applying Golden GAC 100 to the hardboard before applying Gamblin Oil Ground. This process reflected the panel preparation practices and product information available to us at the time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUpdated Preparation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Golden Artist Colors has since revised its recommendations regarding the use of glossy acrylic products, including GAC 100, beneath oil painting layers. In response to this updated guidance, Trekell has updated our preparation process. Gamblin Oil Ground is now applied directly to the hardboard on the painting side of the panel without GAC 100 underneath it. Golden GAC 100 is currently applied to the reverse of the panel as part of our panel preparation process and is not part of the painting surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause inventory produced under both preparation methods may be in circulation during this transition, customers who need to know which preparation method was used for a particular panel are welcome to contact Trekell before painting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eA Note About Artist Materials and Panel Preparation\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRecommendations for preparing painting supports can evolve as manufacturers conduct additional testing and learn more about the long-term interaction of artist materials. Artists concerned with specific conservation, archival, or technical requirements should review the current recommendations provided by the manufacturers of the grounds, paints, mediums, and other materials they use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo prepared painting surface can account for every combination of materials, technique, storage environment, or intended use. Artists who require complete control over every layer of their painting support may prefer to purchase one of Trekell's unprimed panels and prepare the surface using the materials and methods appropriate for their individual practice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout Oil Ground Color\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOil ground can naturally darken or yellow when stored away from light. If your panel appears darker or more yellow than expected, place it in an area with natural light. Exposure to light will help reverse the darkening and return the ground to a lighter appearance. This natural color change does not indicate a problem with the painting surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor hanging or display, this flat panel should be framed or mounted to a cradle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCalifornia Proposition 65 Warning\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWARNING:\u003c\/strong\u003e Drilling, sawing, sanding, or machining wood products can expose you to wood dust, a substance known to the State of California to cause cancer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAvoid inhaling wood dust or use a dust mask or other safeguards for personal protection.
