GOLDEN Regular Gel Gloss Acrylic Gel
GOLDEN Regular Gel Gloss is a professional acrylic gel with a consistency comparable to Heavy Body paints, designed for artists working on canvas, wood, paper, and other rigid surfaces. It increases the volume of acrylic paints and adjusts their transparency without changing their consistency. The gloss finish dries to a completely clear, flexible, and water-resistant film. In impasto techniques, it reduces shrinkage and minimizes the risk of cracking.

Frequently asked questions
Does Regular Gel change the consistency of acrylic paints when mixed? No. Its consistency matches the Heavy Body line, so it increases paint volume and adjusts transparency without changing the paint’s original consistency.
How does the gloss version of this gel dry? The gloss version of Regular Gel dries to a completely clear film, unlike matte versions, which take on a slightly milky appearance in thicker layers.
Does Regular Gel help prevent cracking when building up layers? Yes. In impasto techniques, it reduces shrinkage and the risk of cracking compared with using paint alone.
