GOLDEN Extra Heavy Gel Semi-Gloss Extra Thick Acrylic Gel, Semi-Gloss
GOLDEN Extra Heavy Gel Semi-Gloss is the thickest acrylic gel in the GOLDEN range, designed for artists working with acrylics on canvas, wood, paper, and other rigid surfaces. It reliably holds tall textures and preserves sharp edges and tool marks, making it ideal for bold impasto and relief work. Mixed into paint, it increases body and viscosity, and dries to a flexible, water-resistant film of archival quality.
