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
