From the manufacturer:
Surface Preparations are used to seal, prime and add tooth (for color adhesion) to all surfaces such as canvas, wood, paper and metal. This same preparation is used for both acrylic and oil paint. Our BASICS acrylic Gesso offers good value for money while also providing a high quality base coat suitable for a variety of surfaces.
All Surface Preps
- Are flexible/non-cracking
