Golden Acryl Med 32 Oz Gac-800 Acrylic White

Great product to keep acrylic painting from cracking.

I have used this previously and it works well

Worth every penny!

Use GAC800 for acrylic pouring.

Great product for this art activity.

As much as I love this pouring medium, I dont love the price. For 30 bucks there should be more.

LOVE this to help with my acrylic painting!

I use GAC to mix with my acrylic paints for paint pouring. It creates a shiny glossy finish on the pours which I like because I dont have to put a varnish on the finished product. Also, you can apply directly to a finished canvas to create a glossy finish. I use on canvas and wood pieces. Its a little pricey, but really worth it for your art pieces. Would definitely recommend and purchase again!

I love this stuff I use it for pour painting

I bought this product to add to home-made acrylic paint-pouring mixtures. It is supposed to help reduce the chances that your paint will craze or crack. Ideal paint-pouring mixtures dont change the color of your paint, they make it more fluid, but they dont reduce its opacity or break down its adhesion either (the way simply diluting the paint in water would). There are pre-made paint-pouring mixtures out there that I have tried (and personally I have not found the higher-priced Liquitex brand especially better than the cheaper Sergeant Arts brand) and I have experiemented with making my own, usually based on Floetrol with other components. I heard several youtube artists recommend adding just a small amount of GAC-800, and it is important that it is a SMALL amount, because otherwise the white gac-800 does seem to make the color of the acrylic paint lighter. Of course, some acrylic-additives (such as gel medium) are white to start and clear when they dry, so its possible that the color gets darker again when it dries, but eve if that is true, the fact that it is lighter in color while you are working with it makes it harder to decide what other colors to use and harder to know what the end result will look like. Does it help with crazing though? Probably. I have been trying to use thinner layers of poured paint (which also helps reduce the likelihood of crazing) but its hard to measure exactly how thick the paint layer is, and I also dont always keep track of exactly how much gac I have used in every mixture of paint, so its hard for me to pinpoint any exact reason why a certain painting may or may not end up with some crazing. If you are experiencing problems with crazing in your acrylic paint-pours, this product is worth a try, but be aware that it might lighten some of your colors. I especially dont recommend combining it with black.
