Description
Golden GAC 900 Fabric Medium
Golden GAC 900 is a ready-to-use liquid acrylic Fabric Painting Medium, designed to be used as a modifier for acrylic paints for painting on clothing. When heat-set properly, it offers a soft, pliable feel and provides excellent laundering stability.
This polymer medium 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 application you intend to do. The amount of medium may also be increased to improve softness of hand, such as when working on delicate fabrics. Heat-setting is necessary to fuse the GAC 900 into the fabric and improve the “hand” or softness of the laundered garment.
See this Fabric Painting with GAC900 Guide for more information on application, heat setting and after-care.

GAC 900: Increases Launderability of Acrylic Paint.
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. For more information on fabric painting see the Application Information Sheet.
Note: The heat-setting process will release low levels of formaldehyde, therefore it is imperative that adequate ventilation be provided.
