Max at Realgesso saw this and suggested I cut and paste from his site - I think this is the post he was referring to..
He has a forum at his site realgesso.com that answers a lot of these questions. And I suggested he sign up here if Cynthia doesnt mind to answer any questions.

If I put a larger panel in a frame(20" by 24"),would the frame act as a cradle or are the boards warp free( linen put on the board after the gesso)?
How large can a linen on panel be before I think about cradling it?
Is there a bulk order size that would warrant a discount(this was posed to me by a business who is interested).
What kind of weight would 20, 16" by 20"s be?
Theres no hurry to answer Max.I won't be able to order until late Jan.
Gord, if properly done, the picture frame does indeed act as a cradle, we usually recommend cradling sizes above 16x20. A note: The linen panels exhibet less warping than do the gesso panels.
There are price breaks on quantity orders as well as wholesale volume discounts, have that business contact us at

20 - 16"x20" weighs approximately 54 lbs.
