Best Stuff ever...!!! I use it on everything...
5 Stars
Best Stuff ever...!!! I use it on everything...
I use it on watercolor paper before I use watercolors--it makes them brighter. I use it on canvas, board, over white gesso too, and over my sketches before I paint anything. I used it on the photo/artwork "Lady in Blue" over book pages before I applied watercolor and gouache. It's really useful and I can't work without it now.

5.0 out of 5 stars I trust prima marketing this is archival nontoxic trans parent and I have used it for my watercolor on thin color book pages
Reviewed in the United States on December 20, 2017
I have nothing to compare those two but from all the reviews I’ve read and all the times I’ve used it it has protecting my pages from watercolor scrubbing I do let my just so cure overnight and it works fantastically I’ve also added marble dust to it and that is a new project I’m using but I want to protect then pages from my watercolor in some of my color books that are not so thick papered and I have just begun using this product and it has not change the color of my pages so that is a plus and so far I haven’t had a bleed through and it really is icy transparent. It’s also archival in non-toxic. Attached is a WIP from the coloring book Romantuc Country and some Sennelier paints I’m using from my own pallette. It wa a great outcome and my paints layered and dried quite nicely but I could lift and mix in the page as well!

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect for protection
Reviewed in the United States on April 5, 2022
I have an old ledger/journal book that my Mom started back in the 1950's/60's that I want to also journal in/alter but wanted to protect what was already in there. I had some Liquitex Clear Gesso that I tried on the cover page and it did leave a gritty texture (as stated in another review), so based on reviews I purchased this Clear Gesso. IT IS PERFECT!!!
The pages are not wrinkling and it leaves a nice, smooth protective cover on the existing ink.
And wow, definitely want to preserve this info. Check out their mortgage info in 1956!!
On another note, I was almost swayed by some of the negative reviews on clumpiness, and drying, but did not have any issues like that. Strange that the product couldn't just be returned/exchanged, seems easier than complaining about it ??
Anyways, totally recommend this product!!!
