Directions for use: On unsized textiles, Lascaux Gesso should be diluted 1:1 with water for the first coat. If desired after approx. 4 - 6 hours (according to the temperature), a second coat may be applied. Between the two coatings, uneven fibers and knots can be flattened with fine sandpaper. Coated fabrics can be rolled. On absorbent supports like paper, cardboard, and fibreboard Lascaux Gesso is applied diluted with 10 - 15% of water, as required. On wood or concrete, a preliminary coat of Lascaux Hydro Sealer diluted 1:4 with water is recommended. For the following coat of Lascaux Gesso, cut with 25% of water. Lascaux Gesso should not be used below the temperature of +46°F.
Coverage: Approximately 50-100 ml/m2 per coat, depending on the support and application
