Gesso makes a terrible primer for anything canvas, but
would be especially bad on tent canvas.  It's made
from hide glue mixed with some inert white pigment
(like chalk) and is both rigid and absorbent -- not
something you want on your pavilion.  The stuff sold
as "acrylic gesso" in art supply shops is not really
gesso but a thick, overpriced, latex paint.
