It's Gesso. Great product.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Worked Well, but Need 2 Coats, No Odors
*by L***O on February 21, 2026*

Used this for rock painting project for a bridal shower craft. I'm glad I did a test rock. It did take 2 coats to cover any gray peeking out from rock, but it dries quickly and worked well. No heavy odors.
