Liquitex Matte Gel Medium

What it does

• Reduces surface shine, increases colour depth and transparency
• Extends your colour further without affecting acrylic stability
• Increases viscosity of soft body paints, giving a thicker consistency
• Slows drying time and enhances appearance of brush marks
• Acts as a heavy-duty collaging adhesive
• Primes rough exterior walls for gesso application before mural painting
• Maintains durability and archival quality

How to use it

• Fully intermixable with all Liquitex products
• Mix with Gloss 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
