gesso

Would like a recipe for making gesso. Cannot afford the real stuff and latex paint cracks too much when I use it to coat the PM.

Re: gesso

Gesso will also crack.  Is your piece fully dry before you paint it?  You need o wait at least a day AFTER you think it's finished drying before you prime with anything.  You may want to switch latex brands.  Does the latex you are using crack when you paint another surface? You can get a number of gesso recipes  in the archives here or on a Google search.LOL~Tammy
