Liquitex Gloss Gel Acrylic Mediums

Increase gloss, extend volume and thicken, while extending open time - or use as a collaging adhesive.

What it does;

• Increases surface gloss, colour depth and transparency.
• Extends your colour further without affecting acrylic stability.
• Gives heavy body paint an oil-like colour brilliance.
• Increases viscosity of soft body paints, giving a thicker consistency.
• Slows drying time and enhances appearance of brush marks.
• Maintains paint adhesion, durability and archival quality.

How to use it;

• Fully intermixable with all liquitex products.
• Mix with matte gel to create a custom satin gel.
• Can be thinned by diluting with up to 25% water - distilled water will give best results.
• Mix as much as you like into acrylic colour to create the viscosity and transparency you want - the more you add, the more transparent your colour will become.
• Mix into heavy body acrylic to extend volume and maintain viscosity.
• Mix into soft body or acrylic ink to extend volume and thicken.
• This is semi-opaque when wet, transparent when dry - when used very thickly it may dry semi-opaque.
• Apply with a brush as a collaging glue and fixative.

How not to use it;

• Do not vigorously over-brush as this can result in a foggy, hazy look when dry.
• Do not use with any non-acrylic compatible media.
