Do you cover the canvas with liquid white before painting or white gesso ?

Cover entire surface with liquid white first, very lightly, I emphasize lightly, then your good to paint. I have used black gesso as a background colour letting it come through the painting giving a nice effect. Difference between liquid white and gesso is the liquid white stays a liquid giving you time to paint with the gesso drying almost as soon as it's applied. Hope this helps. By the way, I love the paints, once you become comfortable it becomes a real joy to paint. Dwayne

I would say no. I am not good with colors, but I would call it a semi-transparent off white. It doesn't look bad on my canvas, but it doesn't quite match the original thread. Hope this helps.

This product works great. I would not recommend it for severely wet areas but for damp areas yes. I would recommend doing any necessary wall repair prior to application but other than that no prep is needed. I believe it only comes in white but ask your paint store if they can mix color in it. I use it like a primer and then paint my color over it.

Depends on how many coats you apply. I usually do three as this gives a real shiny finish. I'd at least go with two bottles. Also if it still comes with the foam top applicator, tear it off. I use a miniature plastic cup to put the liquid in and use a one inch foam applicator sold in paint departments (Menard's, Lowes, etc).

Unless it has an oily film I do not use anything except to roughen the surface slightly. I have used a light application of paint thinner to remove any oily substance. My biggest problem is trying to keep the dry mix in place before the liquid is applied, I have used tape to accomplish this. I marvel at the quick set up and strength. of this product. Good Luck!

It discolors over paint if you do the number of coats recommended. This orangish discoloration showed up on sky blue and light blue. Pale yellow no problem. Would not try white.

I used a primer first just becase I was priming the rest of the room. I don't see any problem with just painting over it. It is vinyl and heavy enough paper to not have any problems.

What I usually do is take a big thick paint brush and dust it out as much as possible. I only use mine for white ingredients (flour, icing sugar) not cocoa learned my lesson on that. I also use a damp paper towel to get the underside clean. It can be a pain but the product is worth it.

In my own personal experience I find it works better if you wait until the paint has cured. I use decoart gloss enamels when I paint on glass.

It really depends on what you intend to use it for. If it's for repainting a regular room ceiling in your house, which is already white, then you probably don't need to use a primer underneath it. However, if it's for a bathroom, and that bathroom is used by, say, two teenagers, each of whom take long hot showers (as in our case); and in which, despite religiously running a venting fan, the paint had been peeling off the ceiling, then yes - it's strongly recommended as a topcoat over a good primer such as Zinzer's own Bull's-Eye 123.

Yes, you have to paint or primer over it when its done drying/curing. Other wise it literaly turns white and chalky from sun exposer. It a real thin runny type epoxy. So its difficult to keep mess to a minimal.

A friend and i just did a project and where able to get a bright white. I am not sure if or how much the color you will be covering impact the final outcome. Ours was a fairly light shade of tan.One note on the tintable already being white. That is what we thought as well. Shot one of the bottles before we realized it was not covering with any real color. Added the paint per instructions and achieved a great white finish.

lacquer over enamel will at the very least ruin everything. Thr lightest mist can cause a few paints to blister badly. Best idea is to spray a area not to be seen or PAINT ANOTHER OBJECT TO CHECK WHAT MAY WORK. I HAVE SEEN THE DULL COTE AND GLOSSCOTE USED ,BUT ONLY OVER WATERBASED PAINT. ENAMEL HAS ALWAYS BLISTERED ON ME. RAY

Hi there,it all depends on where this canvas will go. Normally we use these labels at the back of our marble samples and they are quite durable and good. They are white. Not clear. Let me know how may I help more.

A mild detergent solution then wipe with clean water a allow to dry. If I'm in a hurry I will use a little mineral (white) spirit but ONLY on the surfaces that I intend to join.

Be prepared with more canvases, a bottle of linseed oil for working the paints, and a bucket with thinner for clean-up (I use an odorless turpenoid.) Get more brushes after you have painted a few canvases to know what works best for you.

I use two tablespoons of calcium carbonate, mixed with 1 tablespoon warm water, and 1 cup latex paint (flat)
