What it does
  • Gives acrylic color a metallic silver luster

  • Slows drying time to help you get more subtle color blends
  • Lowers the viscosity of heavier body paints
How to use it

  • Compatible with all Liquitex products
How not to use it
  • If bubbles appear when stirring, leave to sit while they rise and disappear
