![]() ![]() The very first time I used it, back in 1999, I was amazed at how fast it dried, ready to use-and how it did not wet the paper, making it ripple-y. Sometimes I’ll use a fine sponge roller for an even texture and other times I’ll apply it with a broad white bristle brush. I absolutely love the huge versatility the Colourfix materials deliver. Most often, I grab a sheet of Cfix paper or board off the shelf-but there have been a number of times where I had reasons to go with the Primer. I’ve primed etching papers (which I have en masse) and masonite and rag boards and canvas-and it has never disappointed. HI, Raechild! I am a huge fan of the Colourfix Primers-along with the papers and boards. ![]() Michael, where do you get the 4F pumice and how much does it cost? You might get more done with the Golden ground since you can thin it down with water. I think that you could probably get about four 18″ x 24″ boards done with two coats from one jar of the primer if you put it on thinly. To get the most for your money, I suggest you first colour the board with thinned down acrylic paint, if you have it, and then use the clear primer which gives a bit of a milky appearance on top. I apply it with a brush so I do get brush strokes showing through which is a personal preference. It all depends of course on how thickly you apply it and whether you use one or two coats. ![]() They are both a little less gritty than the Colourfix Paper and a small container can do quite a lot. They are both pretty much the same with the Golden being a little less expensive. I have used both the Colourfix Primer and the Golden Acrylic Ground for Pastels on hot pressed watercolour paper for smaller works and matboard for larger works. ![]()
