Good quality easy to use
I have been using this product for 2 years. I love the coverage and texture.

Seems nice and thick!
I’m going to enjoy experimenting with black gesso instead of always using white to cover my bare canvases. Seems to have a nice consistency.

Great for crafting!
This product was excellent for my intended use. I utilized it as a primer to create a steam punk hat and it effectively promoted adhesion of all the items I added to the hat prior to bronzing them. The result was outstanding, and I highly recommend this primer for small craft projects. It is a superior product of exceptional quality. I am thoroughly impressed.

Dries Perfectly Clear With No Clumping
Perfect cover for PBN painting. Glides on easily, doesnt clump, and dries quickly and clearly. Makes it easier to blend the paint and cover the canvas so the final product doesn't look quite so "painted by number."

Crap Amazon delivery
The Gesso is fine, but Amazon SUCKED with it's delivery. Should of been overnight but took three days. Sure glad I pay for crap service!

great stuff
works like a charm, but you are better off buying this through one of Amazon's many competitors, like I will from now on.

Great Coverage
Very nice, and smooth coverage over the canvas. I wait about 20 minutes then start painting. I like painting wet on wet.

Easy to use canvas restart
This has great coverage to cover up a plain canvas or a print you no longer want. It goes on easy ~ washes out of brushes easily. Dries quickly. I had a beach themed picture and wanted a contrast piece instead.
