What it does:

• Extends the open time of your gel colour/medium by 40% so it is blendable and workable for longer
• Maintains the same level of transparency
• Thickens and increases viscosity
• Retains brush/knife marks
• 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 with a knife
• Mix in slowly and thoroughly, 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
