Copper, aluminum, zinc, and steel are much less absorbent than other supports. Paint films can adhere to the surfaces of these metals only if they are well roughened to provide a tooth and if they are very clean and free of oil compounds. Although they have occasionally been used in the past, they are seldom used for easel painting today. [ p. 115]
