Transfers printed images

How to use it

Fully intermixable with all Liquitex products
Mix with Matte Medium to create a custom satin fluid medium
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 and transparency you want - the more you add, the thinner and more transparent your color will become
Stir gently to avoid creating foam - if bubbles appear, leave it to sit while the bubbles rise and 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 and apply with an atomizer or airbrush
Apply with a brush/sponge as a lightweight collaging glue

No it is the same formulation - we have simply changed the name to Liquitex Professional Gloss Medium. The reason we changed it is because we now have a full range of professional varnishes which will give you a better result than using Gloss Medium to do both. Gloss Medium is an excellent fluid medium and we advise you to use one of our specialized varnishes with it.
