How to use it:

- For best results mix in a 1:1 ratio with Soft Body Acrylic, add more if using Heavy Body to get your desired consistency
- For watercolour effects use 5 parts medium to 1 part Soft Body
- Stir gently to avoid creating foam - if bubbles appear, leave it to sit while the bubbles rise and disappear
- Paint on with brush, roller etc, using a thin layer to avoid cracking
- Can be added directly to textile when paint is still wet to blend colour
- No need to iron to set
How not to use it:
- Do not shake or vigorously over-brush as this can result in a foggy, hazy look when dry
- Do not use with any non-acrylic media
- The thicker you apply it, the less flexible it becomes
