## Questions & Answers

**Q: matte finish?**
A: NO

**Q: No grit?**
A: No grit. Similar to mat medium, mod podge. Dries clear.

**Q: do you have to sand to get smooth**
A: No sanding. I have put this on several paint-by-numbers that are on canvas boards because I hated the gritty gesso. It seems to work great. I did put it on my 1st loose canvas & it was just slick, like painting on plastic/vinyl. the paint just slid around. I had to stop & put a coat of regular gesso on it.

**Q: can this product be used in an exterior application , it would be protected from most direct sun and moisture**
A: It has a flat finish, would not do well if moisture is present

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Great Product, definitely will buy more, when needed.
  

*by M***8 on Reviewed in the United States on 1 September 2024*

I was taught that Gesso was a great "paint eraser" for acrylic paints. In case you don't know, acrylic paints dry very fast without a slo-drying medium. So if you put something on your canvas that you don't like, you can't really "erase" it. It can be frustrating. But if you apply a little Gesso to the area and wait 24 hours, you can reapproach the area of the painting. Before discovering black, I had done so with my white canvas paintings and was thrill to find black for my black canvassed paintings. I have used it to correct, to start over and to prime a white canvas in black (make sure you lightly sand between coats to get a smoother canvas). I have been pleased with this product every time.The photos I'm supplying show a painting I started and didn't like the progress, but loved one feature (the moon), so I applied Gesso around the moon and started the rest of the painting over. I was very pleased with the end result and kind of upset that I sold it at auction without making some high quality prints of it. LOL! At least the auction was for charity.

I am using this black gesso on unfinished wood plaques. The coverage is very good. It dries very fast. I have not started painting on the gesso yet, but expect it to work well. Very pleased so far.
