The fifty dollar tub of gel medium I bought is actually gesso. And it's now open, so I can't take it back. And worse, I can't work on the paintings I was doing until I can buy gel medium. And that will cost me another $50.

It's not a huge crisis, except for the fact it will take years for me to use all that gesso up. I can pop over to the Loomis store on Spadina after work tomorrow and just pick some medium up
