Re: Other PVAc primers/sealers. LIQUITEX CLEAR GESSO



To my knowing (and limited experience), anything acrylic won't work
unless you add something porous into it such as calcium carbonate,
marble dust, pumice dust, silica fume ect. ect.... Clear gesso is
usual gesso minus calcium carbonate, titanium dioxide and other
fillers (except for transparent/translucent silica fume maybe,
completely speculating here). Anyway, since acrylic gesso with all
those fillers doesn't work, I'd bet that clear acrylic gesso would not
too.
