Golden GAC 400 is a water-based acrylic polymer for stiffening paper, textiles and natural fibers. It is particularly suitable for artistic, design and model work in which flexible materials are to be given a solid, dimensionally stable structure. For example, GAC 400 can be used to harden, drape and model unprimed canvas, cotton fabric, linen or light fabrics and then use them as a sculptural form after drying.
When used, GAC 400 should not only be applied to the surface, but should be absorbed into the fibers of the paper or textile. In this way, the stiffener does not just act as a layer on the surface, but in the material itself. To do this, apply the medium generously with a brush or soak it in the hardener and then shape it or position it to dry.For larger, free-standing constructions, an additional inner or outer support structure is recommended, as very large or heavy molds often cannot hold themselves reliably. After drying, a hard, rigid and, depending on the application, slightly glossy surface is created.
GAC 400 is also suitable as a primer for painting. You can use it as an alternative to rabbit glue to stiffen linen or canvas before further processing. Particularly heavy and acid-free papers are suitable for working with paper.
