Dramatically increases viscosity to create a stiff, oil paint-like consistency that holds high peaks and sculptural shape
Reduces surface gloss, increases color depth and transparency

Slows drying time and gives minimal shrinkage
Acts as a heavy-duty collaging adhesive
Primes rough exterior walls for gesso application before mural painting
Maintains paint adhesion, 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 color to create the viscosity and transparency you want - the more you add, the more transparent your color 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
