Rublev Colours Grounds & Primers Lead Alkyd Ground 8oz
Rublev Colours Lead Alkyd Ground is a blend of white pigments in alkyd for a semi-absorbent ground ideal for oil and alkyd painting. It is formulated for priming non-absorbent rigid supports, such as ACM or copper. Still, it can also be used on absorbent rigid supports, such as solid wood or hardboard, or canvas mounted on rigid supports. While it is best applied to rigid supports, it can be applied to stretched canvas. Rublev Lead Alkyd Ground typically dries within eight hours.
Rublev Colours Lead Alkyd Ground has a high concentration of pigments, so usually, only two coats are necessary, but more coats create a smoother, less absorbent surface. Apply directly onto ACM or copper panels with the recommended preparation below or onto wood surfaces. Rublev Lead Alkyd Ground is an excellent foundation for oil and alkyd paints.
Rublev Lead Alkyd Ground using all three white pigments: calcite, lead white, and titanium white in just the right proportions to make a flexible, tough film with some absorbency. The dry ground calcite in Rublev Lead Alkyd Ground has a closely controlled particle size distribution. This grade of calcite is designed to provide the lowest possible oil absorption. It offers the desired penetration control with maximum chalk resistance. Calcite aids in forming the type of surface on grounds to which upper layers will adhere easily.
Lead white, and to a lesser degree, ground calcite, have low water absorption properties and hence develop better blister and crack resistance. Furthermore, lead white contributes to more film flexibility. The presence of titanium white increases the opacity of this ground and provides a brilliant white surface. We have selected a grade of titanium white with good hiding and excellent dispersion properties.
Directions: Using a bristle brush, apply the first Rublev Lead Alkyd Ground coat evenly across the panel's surface. Remove any excess and smooth the surface with a brush or palette knife. Let it dry completely--hard dry. Apply at least one more coat by repeating the process. Allow the panel to dry thoroughly before painting. When using a roller application, apply with a foam roller (not a nap roller) for an eggshell finish. Foam rollers produce the smoothest finish and are ideal for use on ACM. Apply a thin coat with the foam roller and make it slightly tacky. Smooth the ground with the foam roller without loading more ground. It is unnecessary to dilute Rublev Lead Alkyd Ground, but it can be thinned with mineral spirits, odorless mineral spirits (OMS), or turpentine. For best results, do not over-dilute.
