GOLDEN Regular Gel Medium-Viscosity Acrylic Gel
GOLDEN Regular Gel is a medium-viscosity acrylic gel with a consistency comparable to Heavy Body paints. It is intended for artists working with acrylics on canvas, wood, paper, and other rigid surfaces. It extends acrylic paints and adjusts their transparency without changing their viscosity, while reducing shrinkage and the risk of cracking in impasto techniques. It contains the same acrylic binders as GOLDEN paints and dries to a flexible, water-resistant film of archival quality.
