Liquitex Gloss Heavy Gel Acrylic Mediums

Liquitex Gloss Heavy Gel Acrylic Mediums

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

What it does;

  • Increases viscosity to create an oil paint-like consistency that holds knife and brush marks.
  • Increases surface gloss, colour depth and transparency.
  • Extends your colour further without affecting acrylic stability.
  • Slows drying time.
  • 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 heavy body 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 increase viscosity and transparency - the more you add, the more transparent your colour will become.
  • 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.
