Avoid the “Value” Gessobord … it’s like painting on plastic. I had to sand every one of them, use a tack cloth, and then cover with gesso. I thought I was saving a little money, but it cost me my time. The original Ampersand Gessobord is wonderful, but I always give it a quick thin wash with a little color and turp. When it dries, it’s not so slippery and is very convenient for painting and shipping.
