Golden Acrylics Sandable Hard Gesso 237ml

Golden Acrylic Sandable Hard Gesso is formulated with 100% acrylic polymer emulsion and can be sanded to provide surfaces that are smoother and more even than those created using regular gesso.

• It contains high levels of titanium dioxide, calcium carbonate, and other inert solids to produce an easily sanded surface.
• PLEASE NOTE: This product is designed for rigid substrates only and is NOT to be used on flexible materials, as cracking may occur.
• Only use on inflexible substrates such as hardboard, wood or metal panels. Potential for cracking may occur if used on highly absorbent surfaces, like canvas, even when adhered to a rigid surface beforehand.
• Apply in multiple thin layers, gradually building up to the desired thickness. Single thick layers could crack upon drying.
• Stir before use. 

WITH ACRYLIC PAINTS

• To reduce yellowing caused by Support Induced Discoloration (S.I.D.) when painting on supports that contain water soluble impurities, such as canvas and wood panels, first apply two coats of Gloss Medium and allow to dry thoroughly. Then apply the desired number of coats of Sandable Hard Gesso.

WITH OIL PAINTS

• Apply oil paints to 2 or more coats of Sandable Hard Gesso. To protect canvas when adhered to rigid supports, from linseed oil acids, apply 2-3 coats of Acrylic Gesso directly on the raw canvas before the Sandable Hard Gesso. Allow the acrylic products sufficient time to cure before applying oil paints in order to maximize mechanical adhesion, typically 3 days after final layer.
