About The Product
Across Pakistan, gesso is commonly available as a paste. Paste gesso usually needs brushes or rollers, takes longer to apply, can leave uneven texture, and creates more cleanup. An aerosol spray format makes surface prep faster and cleaner, with more uniform coverage and a smoother, more controlled result. If you want professional prep without the typical paste gesso hassle, this product is made for that exact need.
