How to use
Can be thinned by diluting with up to 25% water
- distilled water will give best results
Mix as much as you like into acrylic color to create the viscosity & transparency you want
- the more you add, the thinner & more transparent your color will become
If bubbles appear when stirring, leave to sit while they rise & disappear
This is semi-opaque when wet, transparent when dry
To fix pastel, graphite or chalk, mix 1 part medium to 1 part distilled water & apply with an atomizer or airbrush
Apply with a brush/sponge as a lightweight collaging glue
Fully compatible with all Liquitex products
Do not shake or vigorously over-brush as this can result in a foggy, hazy look when dry
Do not use with any non-acrylic media
