Oh darn it. Things went wrong with this one. Wrong with the painting and wrong with the video. I had intended to recreate the #NovemberPouringChallenge flip cup and drag video but it didn't quite work out.
First, just as I had everything set up and ready to start filming, along came the whirr, grind, slashing noise from my neighbour as he started up his power tools. He uses one of those electric strimmers to cut down the tall grass and then a leaf blower. For hours and hours it seems. So annoying. So the audio on this video was horrible and I've removed the chat and replaced it with music. So be warned, turn off your speakers if you don't like music.
And then there was the flip and drag itself. Started out OK but then I lifted the cup too far, broke the seal and all the paints came out in a big gush - so very much a flip cup and barely any dragging.

![Acrylic Pouring on Ceramic Tiles: Prepare and Create [Gesso vs Adhesion Medium]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/8ImpKNTJyPA/mqdefault.jpg "Acrylic Pouring on Ceramic Tiles: Prepare and Create [Gesso vs Adhesion Medium]
In this video, I will look at how to prepare tiles for painting, and especially for acrylic pouring. I get a lot of questions about how well paint sticks to ceramic tiles, and shouldnt I at least gesso the tile before pouring. You would think that was a good thing to do usually but Ive found adding gesso or any other surface prep to non-porous surfaces has caused me problems in the past.
