Harden, sculpt, and shape fabrics with Golden GAC 400 Fabric Stiffener. An alternative to rabbit skin glue, this medium can be used to prime and reduce the flexibility of canvas, cotton, linen, and more. It can also transform lightweight fabrics into freestanding forms.

Unlike rabbit skin glue, GAC 400 Fabric Stiffener is an acrylic polymer and doesn’t remain water-soluble after it’s dry, so humidity won’t make it soften, swell, or crack. Apply one or two coats directly onto raw canvas, coating both the front and back for maximum stiffness.

It’s ineffective over any other medium — it will flake off and cause delamination of subsequent paint layers. Since GAC 400 isn’t completely effective against oil penetration, the use of GAC 100 over GAC 400 is recommended for oil painters.

__Note__ — Since GAC 400 is brittle, canvas or fabrics treated with GAC 400 should not be rolled tightly or bent backward. This will cause cracking of the polymer film and may transfer cracks into additional paint layers. This is especially a risk with cured oil paints.
