Liquitex Gloss Heavy Gel Medium
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
