Designed to add tooth and seal various surfaces including canvas, wood, and paper, it enhances adhesion for acrylic, oil, pastel, and charcoal media. ASTM D4236 certified safe, it offers customizable tinting options when mixed with acrylic colors, making it a versatile essential for professional and educational artists alike. ## Description Liquitex offers the broadest range of acrylic mediums to inspire creativity at every stage of the painting process. Surface Prep Mediums 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 professional gessoes usually take just one coat, and adding Liquitex Soft Body color to any gesso creates customized tints and primers. Liquitex Clear Gesso Surface Prep Medium is an ideal high tooth for pastel oil pastel graphite and charcoal. Excellent ground for acrylic and oil paint. Mix with acrylic color to have a tinted ground. Dries clear to translucent depending on thickness. Excellent base coat primer for many applications, including murals. Can be applied to any material or surface that will accept traditional acrylic media, such as canvas, paper, wood, etc. Liquitex Surface Prep Mediums are lightweight, non-toxic, and dry to a water-resistant, non-yellowing surface. APPLICATION: For canvas, paper, wood, or any clean porous non-oily surface. Sizes and primes while maintaining the original appearance of the surface. Provides paper with good tooth for chalk and oil pastel techniques. Mix with a very small amount of transparent or translucent acrylic color to tint the ground, while maintaining transparency.

Canit also be used as a sealer/varnish? TIA!** A: Matte, and also gritty. The grittiness is intentional as it contains pumice or something similar. It seals as well as other acrylic mediums. For a sealer, look at other acrylic mediums that are meant for this. And it's definitely NOT a varnish because it dries somewhat milky. **Q: Can this be used to cover mistakes or to reuse an already painted canvas?** A: If you’re referring to white gesso , yes you can cover an old painting with one or two coats. Clear gesso will also allow you to paint over it but you will see the image you’re covering as you paint. **Q: Would someone recommend prepping a metal surface for painting with this product a necessity? (I am unfamiliar with Gesso)** A: Yes, it will be beneficial to prep the metal surface. You will want to roughen up the surface with steel wool or sanding paper. Then be sure to wash it really well to remove any oils or debris. Then you can apply the gesso. **Q: What's the difference between the Liquitex "Professional" gesso and the "Basics" gesso?** A: I had used only Liquitex products (gesso and paints) for years. Due to the expense of painting, I decided to try the Liquitex Value Series Basics Gesso. It came in a 1.89 ltr. (1/2 gal.) bucket. I have never been more disappointed in a product!! I used it, but it was difficult to use because it had the consistency of Jello. It did not thin well, and even had lumps that needed to be strained out. I still have 1/2 of the bucket left, and only use it on projects that do not require a fine texture. I would NOT recommend it. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good product *by K***A on 3 March 2023* Good quality ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ But i believe it would be good.. *by A***R on 13 February 2017* Have not used yes ..
