How to use
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 color to create the viscosity & transparency you want
- the more you add, the more transparent your color will become.
Mix into Heavy Body Acrylic to extend volume & maintain viscosity.
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 & fixative-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.
Use with Liquitex Heavy Body Acrylic and Liquitex Soft Body Acrylic colours.
