gesso problems

Post by Chris1280 »

Hi everyone

I am new here and have just started to gild my own frames. I am a artist. I am having problems with cracking up from the sight edge it's driving me mad !!!!

I have put silk over the corners and the wood has been primed with the rabbit skin glue before hand. My gesso is a is 600mlwhitening and 500ml glue. The glue strength is 1 part glue 8parts water.

Does anyone have any answers !!!!


Many thanks :head:
