Buying advice

When choosing hardboard panels for painting, consider the surface preparation (primed vs unprimed), thickness for durability, and size for your project. Multi-packs offer better value, while single premium panels are ideal for professional work. Always check the intended medium compatibility; oil-primed panels are best for oils, while acrylic-primed or universal surfaces work for multiple media.
