I haven't used this particular product, but I am interested in trying
it. I am especially drawn by this statement: "Its balance is
carefully formulated to have more refined dry solids and less acrylic
polymers. " Most acrylic gessoes produces a "plasticky" finish that
rejects gum emulsion. Adding additional marble powder to other
gessoes has resulted in flaking and peeling.
Loris, are you using lithography ink or oil paint? The stiff ink that
is used in print work should not cause oil stains (at least I have
never seen this).
I am attempting to print some large oilprints on aluminum. For me,
the rigid surface makes the oiling process far easier. Mistakes can
be "erased" with mineral spirits.
