Grundieren (in this context)

English translation: Backgrounding

German to English translations [PRO]
Tech/Engineering - Materials (Plastics, Ceramics, etc.) / Glass engraving
German term or phrase: Grundieren (in this context)
This is in a list of terms relating to glass engraving. The only text I have is:

Grundieren: Hierbei werden die Flächen mit neben- und untereinander gesetzten Linien ausgefüllt.

My inclination is to translate it as "outlining". Would this be correct?

Thank you in advance.

Explanation:







See technique #1: Backgrounding

Using a medium size diamond engraving point and light pressure, fill in the surface using with closely packed lines. This background is then engraved again, but with somewhat greater pressure. The process is repeated until the desire effect is obtained. The closer the lines are to one another, the brighter the effect will be. Relatively large surfaces are treated in this manner.

agree  Ramey Rieger (X): priming is prime

disagree  Esther Pugh: Der Link hat nichts mit Grundieren beim Gravieren zu tun, sondern mit dem Bemalen von Glas(-Flaschen etc.), wofür, um Unebenheiten (und Risse usw.) auszugleichen, eine Grundbeschichtung vor dem Auftragen von Farbe und Lack erforderlich ist …..
