I have bought prepared masonite and used sand paper on it but the sand paper took some of the white coat away revealing the underlying color, is this normal or should I coat it with gesso?<br />You are great Roger, I have red your blog and seen your videos and enjoyed it very much.<br /><br />Zheila from SwedenZheilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09117683332174684784noreply@blogger.com
