Priming: Sizing and Grounds

In this video I discuss and share examples of materials you can try when priming supports for painting. These materials include PVA glue, GAC100, Rabbit Skin Glue (not shown), Acrylic Gesso, and Oil Ground. There are no demonstrations in the video, but tips, information, and recommendations on ways to use these materials when preparing your surfaces for paint. Note, there are many other suitable priming materials available to use when painting and these are just a few that I have used and can speak on from experience.

This video is not sponsored by any of the products' manufacturers. Always read the labels on these products or similar products prior to/when in use. Make sure you have read the safety precautions on these materials if you choose to use them. This video is meant to be educational and informative for students who are learning how to paint. If you're unable to find an answer to a question related to these products or how to use them, then I recommend researching them through the manufacturers' websites or contacting the manufacturer directly. This video is not intended to be a demonstration on using these products.

I recommend wearing safety gloves when you are using these materials. I use nitrile latex free gloves that generally work well for me.

I hope you learned something new from watching this video. Thanks for watching and have a wonderful day.
