What it does

• Turns satin paint to a dead matte finish with absolutely no sheen
• Extends your heavy body paints by up to double volume without affecting acrylic stability, viscosity or color position - ideal when running out of a color mid painting
• Maintains opacity levels better than any other Liquitex gel
• Increases viscosity of fluid paints, giving a thicker consistency
• Slows drying time and enhances appearance of brush marks
• Acts as a heavy-duty collaging adhesive
• Maintains durability and archival quality

How to use it

• Fully intermixable with all Liquitex products
• Can be thinned by diluting with up to 25% water - distilled water will give best results
• Best used with opaque colors
• Mix up to 50% into acrylic color to keep color and opacity the same (more than 50% will act as a pale tinting white)
• Apply with a brush as a collaging glue

How not to use it

• Adding over 50% medium may lighten your color
• 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
