  • Non-yellowing
  • Flexible and non-cracking

  • Intermixable with all Liquitex materials

What it does:

  • Extends the open time of your colour/medium by 40% so it is blendable and workable for longer
  • Maintains the same level of transparency
  • Lowers viscosity
  • Ideal for dry and hot climates

How to use it:

  • Fully intermixable with all Liquitex products
  • Start by adding up to 25% of Slow-Dri to your colour/medium
  • Stir slowly to mix well, and use
  • If you're working over a long period of time, mix into colour on the palette to keep it fresh and skin-free for longer

How not to use it:

  • As this is an additive – with no acrylic binders - do not add more than 25% to your colour/medium and do not mix with other additives. This can cause the acrylic film to break down, leaving it sticky and prone to shrinkage
  • Do not use with any non-acrylic media
