So a while ago I saw an episode of Joy of Painting featuring Ben Stahl as a guest, I"ll include the link here: https://youtu.be/MHJB0IBnuD4?list=PLkPorn_XGIUgcFbmkWsQWQFGx5_KAXCol
And in it he mentions priming so on and so forth, but he uses something called spray glaze and I was wondering what you all prime with. I paint primarily in oils and ink. The description of the product in the photo makes me think that it could be used as a primer but perhaps not by itself. What does /ic/ think?
here is the link of the product description on Blick's:

I would avoid sprays like the plague. Way overpriced for what they actually contain and create excessive fumes. Just buy the tin version of whatever it is and apply by brush.

Krylon is garbage.
Also, I would avoid sprays for oil paintings because usually the medium is so thick it clogs the nozzle and drups onto the painting. I'll buy offbrand(treehouse was one I used for acrylics that was great) because Krylon is literally that bad.
Just do what >>2832322
said and buy a ton for oil paintings and brush them on. Just make sure you have a soft, wide brush so there are less brushstrokes, and have the correct cleaner so your brush doesn't turn into a rock.
