Golden - GAC 800 Acrylic Medium
GAC 800 Acrylic Medium
Achieve crack-free acrylic pours with a medium that won't craze as it dries
Puddles and pours dry without crazing when you add GAC 800 to your acrylic formulations. This liquid polymer maintains uniform surface integrity through the curing process, eliminating those frustrating shrinkage crevices that typically mar thick applications. Where other mediums develop surface tension cracks as they cure, GAC 800 holds its dimensional stability from wet to dry.
The medium dries to a flexible, glossy finish with moderate clarity, sufficient for most applications though not crystal-clear like GAC 500. This slight opacity becomes an advantage when working with chalky or porous surfaces; GAC 800 penetrates and bonds effectively where standard mediums struggle to grip. Mix it into paint for thick pours, use it as an additive for dimensional work, or apply it directly to prepare difficult surfaces before painting.
Golden formulated this specifically for artists who work with substantial paint depths and need reliable surface quality without technical failures. The polymer emulsion handles the mechanical stress of thick applications while maintaining workable flexibility once cured. Essential for resin-alternative pours, dimensional abstracts, and any technique where surface integrity matters as much as the color itself.
