I appreciate you, Bro.thank you❤
Correct me if I am wrong, but is my understanding that aluminum does not rust but it can corrode over time. Seen it on many street signs. Of course all materials will degrade, but am wondering how long before corrosion sets in with aluminum. Longer than linen? Am consider Dibond for future oil painting but would be nice to know if any issues with corrosion as may be exposed to linseed oil. And if I apply a barrier, what keeps that barrier from causing corrosion?
Does pencil n charcoal work gewd on there?
Can u use it for pencil,charcoal art?
Hi Aaron, thx for the informative Video. Is there a benefit on using the side with the Plastic coating compared to using the Aluminium side? Best regards Gary
hi Gary. acm panels can either have bare aluminum or lacquered aluminum on both sides. some are one side of each, most DiBond or e-panel are both lacquered. but to answer your question, it depends on how you're prepping the surface. if you're doing many layers of acrylic gesso, it probably doesn't make any difference at all. my experience is the laquered side(s) are slightly more resistant to dings and dents and scratches, so make a better surface -- but only by a little. always good to do a little test of whatever you are prepping your surface with, to make sure it adheres well.
@@AaronNagel1 thank you very much. I've ordered some and I will try my luck. Best regards Gary
RE: Strength, they use aluminum/paper honeycomb composite for airplane and boat flooring. Hell, most newish boats are fiberglass/foam composite.
I thoroughly enjoyed your video. It was both enjoyable and informative. I look forward to seeing more of your tutorials.
thank you!
Great vid. Just curious why you prefer dibond to aluminum panels. Is it just price or is it superior in other ways to aluminum?
thank you! aluminum often is a lot thinner (unless it is glued to a core or framed) which make it more bendy at larger sizes. I do think ACM is a little cheaper, but honestly otherwise, once you gesso it a bunch, painting on it is mostly the same. I've used ACM without lacquer, in which case you are still painting on aluminum.
How do you finish the edges which show the layers of composite material? I can see the plastic in between the outer layers. Do I fill it in with gesso?
you can certainly paint the edges with gesso, just like any other flat panel. of course, if you plan to frame it, the edges will be covered anyway. personally I leave the edge exposed -- doesn't bother me at all.
Can acrylic paint or alcohol inks be used on the surface without adding gesso? Thank you for your very informative video. I had never heard of using this before! ❤
the gesso I use is acrylic, so acrylics work fine. the surface is very smooth though, so one thick layer would be pretty easy to just pull off. a bunch of thin layers of gesso helps to provide more tooth. but you could probably use a workable fixative or size to make sure things stay in place. do some experimenting though! I've never used alcohol inks, so can't help you there.
@@AaronNagel1 Thank you kindly!
I've been trying to find this material, so thank you for clearing up what DiBond actually is.
Same here!!!!
👍Hi, I've had a a go with genetic ACM, but I use the uncoated side. Sand the bare metal, works fine. And there's zero chance of chemical residue from a coating (which the other side may have... But I suppose the gesso fixes that). Cheers, Steve
Can you paint on Dibond panels with oil paint
yes, all of my paintings are oils.
I live in Thailand and it gets pretty hot and humid here. I was wondering if DiBond would warp from the heat on my customers?
to my knowledge it will not! it's non-porous and made for outdoor applications. definitely check with your supplier first though!
You know me.
But are you sure the gesso and the acrylic paint won't separate from the aluminum (a metal) over time? Thanks.
Thank you!
If you have a table saw it can be used to cut this also. Just be aware that if you have a sawstop table saw to make sure you put it in bypass mode to do this
Aaron, thanks for this great video! ACM definitely offers some interesting benefits. I'm wondering what the white coating is that's already in place on the panel you used? I don't mean your layers of gesso, but the white layer that already exists before you do that. Also, is there any way to hang these without framing them? Thanks so much!
acm panels can come lacquered depending on the brand. so you're not painting directly on metal, but a lacquered metal. honestly, since we are applying gesso, it probably doesn't make that much difference but it's more common. and yes, you can certainly add framing hardware to the back of these panels with epoxy. not sure I would trust it for very big panels but smaller ones would be fine. (I usually float my panels when they are framed so they are actually glued to wood supports within a frame).
Thank you!@@AaronNagel1
Old (flat) license plates are a good source of metal--if they are flat. In Indiana they just paint, not stamp.
Aaron thank you for thing consice lecture 💯😃👍 Awesone
I never heard of it and there is an option to buy a reproduction on this surface. I’m glad you made this video because I was wondering why this would be more expensive.
Very good. Well done. Thank you!
Could I use these panels for mixed media? Paper collage/ Mache layering? I usually work with inks, tissue paper, and acrylics.
sure! just prep the surface the same way you would if you were working on wood. acm is very smooth, so you just want the surface to be as textured as you need it.
@@AaronNagel1 thanks 🙏
ACM--Aluminum Composite Material--Not Acrylic composite material
Thank you, I've been using DiBond for signs and painting on wood panel but you just gave me the green light to use DiBond for oils
Thank so much - great video - I am a huge fan of your artwork - could you recommend the best type of Gesso to use ?- and also what grit is your sand paper blocks - Ive just ordered some unprimed panels from artefex ( I normally order primed but thought id try prepping myself ) I just want to make sure I get this process correct as the projects are commissions - also do you recommend oil primed or acrylic and any particular brand - thanks so much ( I cannot sand with the lead oil primed )
thank you! currently i'm using Golden Sandable Hard Gesso, but I've used Liquitex Gesso and Gamblin Oil Ground also and like those as well. I think this is all subjective preference and any gesso will work great as long as it's applied correctly (several thin layers, with sanding in between if you want a pretty smooth surface). for sanding blocks, I think anything considered "fine" (I think ~180 grit) works best. gesso isn't very rough at all so anything more coarse will probably take off more gesso than you need.
Hi Aaron, I’ve been using Winsor Newton oil primer on ACM which has been excellent but I am thinking about trying Golden Sandable Hard gesso which I see in the comments you have been using recently. Two questions Have you noticed if it absorbs the oil out of the oil paint too much leaving matte spots and do you water it down at all for the first coat?
hey there/ I have been using sandable hard gesso for the last few paintings. I definitely haven't noticed any matte spots. as a painting surface, it doesn't feel that much different than regular acrylic gesso. it's perhaps a little less smooth, and a little more absorbent (like an oil ground), and doesn't have the plastic feel of reg acrylic. I don't water down at all, and usually 3-4 coats does it with some light sanding in between most layers. hope that helps!
@@AaronNagel1 Thanks very much. It sounds like it might suit me. I do like Winsor but it’s sometimes hard to get, and it is pretty strong smelling so I think I will give Golden a try. I’ve been to your website too, really beautiful paintings. Thanks again.
Excellent and instructive video. Thanks for posting
recycling ♻️ old signs makes even more sense ... I do.
great idea!
Do you glue mount the panels on some kind of wood cradle?
nope, they are rigid enough to paint on unframed. for display, I frame them in normal frames.
@@AaronNagel1 awesome. even at large-ish scale 30"x40"?
@@jeffborkowski yep! some acm is thicker than others so if you're painting big, get the thickest (plastic specifically) you can find. I've painted a 48" x 62" on e-panel, which is a chinese made but 3A licensed acm product, with no problems at all.
HI Aaron, quick question, I have been using diabond for a while, when I use acrylic gesso, i did a scratch test, it came of easy, am I doing something wrong, maybe not enough layers, or sanding, thanks for your video its priceless for me, also do you use oil primer.
you may be applying the acrylic gesso too thickly. I keep the first 2-3 layers pretty thin and only have issues if I let too much gesso build up on the sides of the panel. I've been using sandable hard surface gesso lately which seems to stick much better and requires fewer layers. oil ground also works great.
How do you attach hanging hardware to the panels when finished?
I frame the panels and use the hanging hardware on the frames. the panels are so thin they don't look great without framing anyway if they are going to be displayed.
Great job, enjoyed your through explanation and demonstration.
Thank you for sharing your experience. Just wondering why alcohol is used to clean after sanding. Would water work?
the idea there is just to get off any residual coatings from the manufacture and make sure the surface is fully clean of oils and dust before the surface is prepped. I think it also helps eliminates static, which can be common after removing the protective plastic. that all said, I don't think using water (as long as it's clean and dry after) will cause any problems really, just better to be safe if you can.
@@AaronNagel1 great, thank you for your reply and feedback.
does the faster drying time of liquin create problems for the underpainting?
it does for me. mostly because it starts to get tacky / sticky as it dries. I prefer to use a medium that doesn't affect drying time or sheen for underpaintings.
Thank you for the clear and concise information. Very much appreciated.
Pollock was a great proponent of dibond.
Does the acrylic gesso stratch off easily?
theoretically if it was very think you could get under it with a razor blade and peel it off, but otherwise I haven't had any issues at all with it. oil ground or hard surface gesso also work great and feel a little more permanent (but again, never had any issues with acrylic in 10yrs)
@@AaronNagel1 thank you so much for your reply really appreciate it
This was incredibly helpful, THANK YOU! Your work is amazing and it is awesome to learn from you. Regarding the pacing, I honestly thought it was a teeny bit fast - I actually slowed down the video to 0.5 speed in some parts so that I could catch what you were doing. But overall, LOVED it! Loved the commentary as well - if you were to add more commentary during the painting process, that would be very beneficial as well. Hope you make more videos like this!
thanks so much for the feedback!
This is a very good idea, thanks for sharing. Also, diggin’ the music you used!
How very interesting. Your instructions were detailed and easy. Your artwork ( visible in the background ) is beautiful!!
thank you!
Dibond great, but then you put acrylic gesso doesn't that seems like a a step backwards?
I didn’t catch what company you order it from…
I got mine locally. because the sheets are big I always just go to whatever industrial plastics supplier might be in the area so I don't have to have it shipped.
What size would you recommend to paint on if you turn it into prints?
Thanks Aaron. I had no idea about DiBond until now. It makes great sense. No more stretching canvas, or building wood panels. It looks really easy. Ordering some tomorrow. Cheers.
These concerns are nonconcerns.
Awesome!!! Got so many questions answered. Where can I buy diabond
I just started painting again and Im so happy I stumbled upon your video! Thank you so much for the info! Will definitely try painting on a dibond! Btw your portraits are sooooo amazing..
thank you! and good luck!
Nicely done video. Very informative. A couple minor corrections however. ACM, in this case, is an acronym for Aluminum Composite Material not Acrylic Composite Material. Dibond is made by 3A Composites not 3M.
thanks william. have noted those corrections in past comments -- need to add to the description. appreciate it!
