Description: Chipboard panels are thick and a good deal better support than wood or
plywood, as they seem to warp less, and thus do not require cradling. The
downside is that the edges and corners tend to crumble. Uses: A chipboard support can be used for oil painting instead of a canvas such
as linen or cotton. How to use: A chipboard is made from wood chippings that are pressed in resinous or
oily binders, or from pressed wood fibre, so they need to be well primed.
Also, muslin glued to the chipboard with glue size makes a really good
support.
