Great video Jonathan!

I am professional artist and recently I decided to make water gilded frames myself. Could you please advise how to apply gesso properly. For water gilding gesso must be flawless. But I can`t get rid of tiny pinholes (probably caused by air bubbles).

I am using rabbit skin glue, gesso by Borma Wasch and distilled water.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance!
