Reliable paint adhesion - with four coating processes
Four coats of prime have been applied to the linen to create a surface that resists oil seepage and stays flat. The priming improves absorbency control so paint sits evenly.
Colours apply and fix more predictably, reducing bleed and minimising the amount of gesso or additional priming required before painting.
