making acrylic gesso

​Hi all,
I’m making my own acrylic ground with an acrylic dispersion from Kremer (where I buy almost all of my supplies) Titanium white and calcium carbonate ,  you think this will work? Any advice on how to do it properly? mixing, proportions etc

Also, could I substitute the titanium white for another pigment if I want to make the ground a different colour ?

Ps: this solution is getting a bit foamy so I might add a defoamer and a dispersion aid (also Kremer), but anyway , do you think the foam is a problem, I’ve done several paintings before I realized this.

thank you!
