Liquitex Gloss Heavy Gel is a very thick gel medium that extends working time & increases brilliance & transparency.
Increases viscosity to create an oil paint-like consistency that holds knife & brush marks
Increases surface gloss, color depth & transparency
Extends your color further without affecting acrylic stability
Slows drying time
Maintains paint adhesion, durability & archival quality
How to use
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 color to increase viscosity & transparency
- the more you add, the more transparent your color 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 & 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
Use with Liquitex Heavy Body Acrylic and Liquitex Soft Body Acrylic colours.
