Two coats of GAC 700 before gessoing will substantially reduce linseed oil penetration into the canvas fibers. If stiffness and oil-blocking are desired, apply one coat of GAC 400 to both the front and back, directly into the raw canvas, followed by two coats of GAC 700 onto the front of the canvas. Follow this by the desired number of gesso coats.


Polymer medium boasts the same handling and performance characteristics as the Gloss Polymer medium but will dry to a matte finish. It can be used to decrease the gloss of Tri-Art Artist Acrylics and gloss mediums, and as a matte glazing medium. When a transparent ground is needed. Tri-Art Matte Polymer medium can be used in the place of Gesso, its tooth will also increase adhesion.
