Golden Artist Colors GAC 900 16oz
Golden GAC 900 is a heatset fabric painting medium, offers a very soft hand and laundering stability. Mix with High Flow Acrylics to produce "tie-dye" effects, or blend with Golden Heavy Body, Matte or Fluid Acrylics for brush or screen application.
GAC 900 is designed to be blended with standard artist acrylic paints, such as Golden Heavy Body Acrylics. Start at a 1:1 mixing ratio of paint to GAC 900, and adjust as needed to modify the consistency for the type of paint application you intend to do. The amount of GAC 900 may also be increased to improve softness of hand (such as when working on delicate fabrics).
Apply the paints as desired and allow the paint to dry well before heat-setting. Heat-setting is necessary to fuse the GAC 900 into the fabric and improve the "hand" or softness of the laundered garment. Properly heatset the painted areas by following the below temperature and duration recommendations. The temperature setting and heating duration impact how well the paints will remain in the garment during repeated wash/dry cycles.
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 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. 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.
The consistency of the GAC polymers is more fluid and thin than other Golden Mediums, so they will reduce the thickness of most Golden Acrylic Paints. Golden Fluid Acrylics are slightly thicker than the GACs, but will exhibit less change in viscosity with the addition of a GAC polymer. Each GAC is a unique polymer with unique benefits and applications.
