Clean the surface thoroughly and remove dust, grease, loose particles and old flaking material. The surface should be clean and dry.

Step 2 – Apply Gesso

Apply a thin and even coat of CYK Gesso using a synthetic brush, natural bristle brush or suitable applicator.

Step 3 – Allow to Dry

Let the first coat dry completely before applying additional layers or proceeding with your next technique.

Step 4 – Additional Coat

For porous or uneven surfaces, additional thin coats may be applied as required. Allow each coat to dry properly.

Once the Gesso is completely dry, proceed with your Chalk Paint, Acrylic Paint, Texture Paste, Decoupage or other decorative technique.

Important Tips

• Always apply Gesso to a clean and dry surface.
• Thin, even coats generally provide a smoother and more controlled result.
• Allow each coat to dry completely before applying the next layer.
