I added 40/70 grit glass abrasive blasting beads to the primer I used on this panel. Even through two topcoats of gesso, this made a huge improvement in the way the surface holds paint. It is much closer to good oil-primed linen. The extra surface area from the slight additional texture completely changes the 'grab' of the surface.
The painting was a bit of a challenge because the model made two pose changes after I started. 16.5" x 14" - 3 hours.
