This section provides the viewer as to how the gesso should be polished before the gold is applied. Whatever blemishes are on the face of the gesso will appear after the gold has been applied. the gesso should become gloss in appearance before the gold is added.

I am a bookbinder/ illustrator/ designer attending grad school at the Minneapolis College of Art and Design. I'm really curious about the art of gilding and have a particular book project in mind. I have a question about the gesso if you have the time. Are there any viable alternatives to the painstaking process of making your own? Can premixed cakes (with the rabbit glue, lead, and slaked plaster) be purchased? I'm very low on money, so are there any alternate grounds for raised gilding?
