Liquitex Matte Gel is a thick gel that imparts a translucent matte sheen when dry.
- Reduces surface shine, increases color depth and transparency
- Extends your color further without affecting acrylic stability
- Increases viscosity of soft body paints, giving a thicker consistency
- Slows drying time and enhances appearance of brush marks
- Acts as a heavy-duty collaging adhesive
- Primes rough exterior walls for gesso application before mural painting
- Maintains durability and archival quality
How to use
- Fully intermixable with all Liquitex products.
- Mix with Gloss Gel to create a custom satin 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 create the viscosity and transparency you want - the more you add, the more transparent your color will become.
- Mix into Heavy Body Acrylic to extend volume and maintain viscosity.
- 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-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.
Use with Liquitex Heavy Body Acrylic and Liquitex Soft Body Acrylic colours.
