Oil Primed Linen Panel - 1/4" Baltic Birch

*Please be advised, Linen may vary in color.*

Trekell’s Oil Primed Linen – 1/4" Baltic Birch Panels are made from prime Baltic birch that has been cut to 1/4” and sealed with Golden GAC100. The linen –  Claessens Linen #13, portrait-grade and imported from Belgium – is glued to the panel with solvent-free Beva film and then primed for oil using one layer of zinc white bound with linseed oil. After it is dried and sanded, the panel is additionally coated with a layer based on titanium white. Sounds like we did all of the hard work for you, right? Oil users, it doesn’t get any easier than this. And with these premium elements, it doesn’t get any nicer, either.

Our fine, portrait-grade linen imported from Belgium – home of the linen-making masters – is intricately weaved and painstakingly prepared to offer maximum durability and longevity, meaning whatever work you place upon it will hold and last through the ages.
