Golden GAC 800-Acrylic Polymer for Pouring technique

GOLDEN GAC (short for Golden Artist Colors) Specialty Acrylic Polymers are based on 100% acrylic polymer emulsions. The GACs are useful as mediums or modifiers of acrylic paints. GACs can be blended with GOLDEN Acrylic Paints to extend the paint, regulate transparency, create glazes, increase gloss, reduce viscosity or improve adhesion and film integrity. The GAC polymers can also be used for binding pigment solids for various effects and surfaces. Unlike the other GOLDEN Mediums and Gels, GAC Acrylic Polymers have only a minimum amount of thickeners, levelers, defoamers and surfactants to ensure good film formation.

GAC 800 Acrylic A liquid acrylic polymer emulsion that does not craze in pours/puddles. When added to Fluid Acrylics, it dries with the same uniform surface and dimensional integrity as when wet (other GACs will craze, developing shrinkage crevices running across the surface). Dries with good gloss and flexibility, but only moderate clarity. Useful to increase adhesion to chalky surfaces.

Pouring technique trend: Use GAC 800 in a 10:1 mixture to Golden Fluid Acrylics for great pouring techniques. Isopropyl alcohol may be ‘spritzed’ across the paint film to marble the paint surface.
