Thanks, Gary! Nobody ever explained the difference between real gesso and the acrylic primer. Of course, I've had a salesman at a supply store strongly recommend Golden's over the cheaper generic brand, but he failed to tell me exactly why it was so much better...and more expensive. Perhaps he didn't really know himself.

And you're right about Masonite. It's simply called hardboard now. I called three lumber yards, none of them carried "Masonite." But at least one customer service guy knew what I needed!
