MAIMERI Oil Painting Primer 500 ml
MAIMERI Oil Painting Primer (No. 616) is a special acrylic primer designed as a ground for oil paints on canvas, wood, or cardboard. Its higher acrylic binder content and finer grain ensure excellent adhesion for oil paintings, even when the canvas is subjected to long-term mechanical stress. Once dry, it requires no additional isolation, so you can apply oil paints directly to the surface.
