Giusto Manetti Battiloro Ready Gesso 125 ml

Ready-made gesso base. A high‑quality, pre‑mixed ground designed for immediate use, eliminating the need for time‑consuming preparation or blending chalk powder with rabbit‑skin glue. It provides a reliable foundation for gilding, restoration work, icon painting, and the creation of decorative frames.

The gesso forms a smooth, porous, and durable surface that can be easily sanded to a refined, silky finish once dry. It is an excellent base layer for bole in water gilding and performs equally well under oil‑ or water‑based mixtion. For optimal surface preparation, apply two to four coats.
