Golden Soft Acrylic Gel Medium - Matte, 16 oz jar

Thinner than Golden Heavy Body Acrylic colors, the Golden Soft Acrylic Gel Mediums are moderately pourable, hold only slight peaks, and are ideal for glazing and other techniques that require transparency. Thinned with water at a 2:1 ratio, it can also be used to create an isolation coat over acrylic paintings to seal the surface, lower the absorbency of the surface, allow for a more uniform varnish application, and protect the acrylic paint during varnish removal.

Gels can be thought of as colorless paint, as they are composed of 100% acrylic polymers similar to acrylic paint.

Golden Acrylic Gel Mediums also act as adhesives in collage and mixed media projects that dry to form continuous films, offering excellent flexibility and resistance to chemicals, water, and ultraviolet light.
