    GOLDEN Absorbent Ground designed for stain and watercolor-type applications is light stable permanent and flexible. While it has a gesso-like consistency it is not intended as a gesso alternative. It must be applied over a porous and toothy surface such as GOLDEN Gesso to ensure adequate adhesion due to the type and level of solids in the product. Once properly sealed it is a permanent acrylic film that does not need to be kept under glass however the surface is quite delicate and additional protection is recommended. A properly applied isolation coat and GOLDEN Varnishes (Polymer & MSA) will protect the artwork from environmental factors such as sunlight and dust.



    Apply onto gessoed canvas hardboard wood or other surface. Prime surfaces with 2 coats of GOLDEN Gesso applied directly to the support. DO NOT apply any initial sizing of GAC 100 GAC 400 or other acrylic mediums. Doing so may result in cracking of the subsequent layers of Absorbent Ground.

    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.

    Only use on rigid 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.
