Review: ... there for any encaustic supplies and R&F is the best. This gesso for one - There are only a few brands out there for any encaustic supplies and R&F is the best. This gesso for one..the price..I know.. you could scream but it is different from regular gesso for painting. A consolation is that it is long lasting..not sure why but it does go a long way. There is almost a sandy quality which you can feel when it is dry..I guess it helps the adhesion for the encaustic paint and medium to the wood. You wont find brand better or cheaper...go with the best
Review: Great products - R & F produces the finest of encaustic mediums. I’ve been counting on them for years. To mention they also offer great videos for using their products.
