Get a SUPER SMOOTH CANVAS using SUPER HEAVY GESSO

Video Description

Updated for 2023, I'll show you a new technique to completely remove canvas texture from a store bought, pre stretched canvas. With this process I'm able to make my canvas smoother than hot pressed paper and the best part is that this time it only takes 3 coats of gesso. If you want a smoother canvas, this technique is for you.
