Pebeo Deco Auxiliary Black Gesso is a black primer that should be used for the preparation of unprimed surfaces before painting. This black universal coating makes an excellent solid background colour for opaque and metallic acrylic colours.
If you are using acrylic paints such as Pebeo Deco Crème and acrylic mediums on a very absorbent surface like wood, we recommend that you prime the surface using a white or black gesso. This will stop the paints from absorbing directly into the unprepared surface and result in brighter colours. Simply apply an even layer of Gesso on to a clean dry surface with a paint brush, palette knife or natural sponge.
You can use Pebeo DecoCrème Black Gesso on wood, paper, card, plaster, acrylic painted surfaces and more. It has a matt finish and will dry in about 1 hour. A 120ml tube will cover approximately 0.25sq m.
