What does GAC 200 do?
GAC 200 is a liquid acrylic polymer that promotes adhesion and film hardness and is the hardest and least flexible polymer made by Golden Artists Colors. It increases film hardness, reduces dry film tack and increases adhesion to many non-porous surfaces. Dries to a clear, high gloss, finish.
How do you size a canvas?
Start by measuring the width and height of your wall and then multiply them by both 0.60 and 0.75. This will give you the range of canvas print sizes that will suit the space. For example: If you have a blank wall that is 9 feet tall and 5 feet wide, you would multiply both 9 and 5 by 0.6 and 0.75.
How many layers does 100 GAC have?
two coats
GOLDEN Fluid Matte Medium and Matte Medium will result in a clear and matte surface, while the GAC 100 yields a glossy finish. A minimum of two coats is recommended. Thin washes of paint for stain applications will be altered by the use of any primer.
What is Golden GAC used for?
The GACs are useful as mediums or modifiers of acrylic paints. GACs can be used to extend acrylic colors, to regulate transparency, create glazes, increase gloss, reduce viscosity or improve adhesion and film integrity. GAC polymers can also be used for binding pigment solids for various effects and surfaces.
How long does GAC take to dry?
Do not sand between layers. Before applying oil primer or the painting ground, allow the GAC100 to dry for 1-3 days so that the sealer can coalesce into a uniform film for maximum protection.
How do you use GAC?
GAC 200. Enhance adhesion. Use on non-absorbent rigid surfaces (such as metal or glass) before applying paint to help adhesion between paint and surface. Mix in with paints to make them harder, for use outdoors and/or on non-absorbent rigid surfaces.
What does GAC 100 do?
GAC 100 will wet out solids, including pigments, more readily than other polymers and is useful for artists formulating their own paints. It is also known as basic Roplex, the grandaddy of acrylic polymer mediums.
Can you paint GAC100?
GAC 100 will wet out solids, including pigments, more readily than other polymers and is useful for artists formulating their own paints. Each GAC is a unique polymer with unique benefits and applications. Refer to the product descriptions below to find the proper medium for a particular applications.
How long does it take GAC100 to dry?
1-3 days
Do not sand between layers. Before applying oil primer or the painting ground, allow the GAC100 to dry for 1-3 days so that the sealer can coalesce into a uniform film for maximum protection.
Can you wait too long between coats of paint?
After your first coat of paint is dry, it’s safe to recoat typically after four to six hours. A good rule of thumb is to wait at least three hours to recoat your paint or primer if it’s water-based. Waiting 24 hours is best for oil-based paint and primer.
