That sensible distinction is too often lost when discussing the "archival" properties of a panting support. Do you use "real" gesso (whiting, gypsum & RSG) or are you referring to the various acrylic products sold as a painting ground and generically identified as "gesso"? Most are abrasive in the extreme, and can really eat up brushes!
