Good coverage and matt
Nice and thick and matt, the coverage is great and a nice wide tub so you can get a decent sized paintbrush in. It has a chalk board kind of finish on board with one coat. I didn’t need two coats though recommended. Thought it was good value and better than using acrylic black which was too shiny.

Great for my purposes
It's taken me a while to understand how to use this (for my purposes). I've been experimenting using black gesso as a background for oil painting portraits. If you give your canvas at least 2 coats and allow 2-3 days for it to fully dry it is excellent. Do a test for your pigments to find out which ones work best on this background for your subject. I really like the effects you can produce

Achieved exactly the desired effect.
Having made a small canvass-stretched painting frame for a painting with a black background, we choose this Mont Marte Gesso for tightening the canvas and for the background. Two layers were applied with this water-based substance. It nicely tightened the canvass. Slight rubbing down with P1500 grit wet and dry smoothed it somewhat but I would say it is not essential.

Very Black!
Bought this to experiment with. New to acrylics, I thought I'd try painting on a black canvas panel. It covers well and dries quickly and although my art work was less than impressive this was not the fault of the product! I'm still experimenting but would recommend this gesso.

Great price
I haven't used it yet, but I can say it's a great price, so I can spend a bit more on oil paints.

Works well and mixes well with acrylics.
Great product works well and can mix other acrylics into it to give a different colour canvas.

Definitely good value for quality.
Good thick gesso for price. Have had no issues with applying or maintaining a good surface to paint upon. Would recommend if never used gesso and unsure if you need it this is a good price to find that out. A surface with a good amount of gesso is a unique painting experience and quite enjoyable.
