Application
Apply successive coats with a brush until required level is reached. Each coat can be applied as soon as the previous one is cold. After a few hours the Gesso will set hard and can then be smoothed carefully with a very fine abrasive.
When using the Gesso with metal leaf wet the Gesso to reactive its adhesive properties prior to laying the metal leaf.
