Liquitex Gloss Heavy Gel

Description

What it does

• Increases viscosity to create an oil paint-like consistency that holds knife and brush marks
• Increases surface gloss, color depth and transparency
• Extends your color further without affecting acrylic stability
• Slows drying time
• Maintains paint adhesion, durability and archival quality

How to use it

• 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 and 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 and 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
