The advice I was given when I bought the whiting was non-specific. To quote from the instructions: 'There is no fixed rule about the proportion of size to whiting. Add the whiting dry, pouring it into the warmed rabbit skin size until a small island appears on the surface.' I suggest when you buy materials for making gesso that you follow any instructions that come with it or ask for advice from the art store. Diane Thanks for the feedback…

The ratio is important and this is something you have failed to resolve. Additionally an email contact would be helpful on this websit (usually under the "Contact us" link). Thank you Diane,
