I agree with Ilaria, the RSG tightens up as it dries and the satisfaction comes from the "drum" sound that you will hear when tapping the center of the canvas. Music to your ears! I wouldn't just gesso over raw linen, the fabric needs that protection, and isolating layer. I've never used the newer products but have heard from others the same complaints that Ilaria mentioned re slacking, and have seen it in another artist's beautiful painting. She must now remove it from an elaborate handmade frame and stretch a large painting, and may have to do it again.

I have an old painting from my college days that still sounds like a drum, over 35 years old (but the painting sucks!)
